The following function, when invoked, causes a C stack overflow

I may be missing something, but "The following function" does not seem
to be a function. It looks like a table... (Therefore, I do not know
how to invoke it to cause something.)

All I did was take that code, then add

x = setmetatable({},subsystem_mt)
print(x.one)
