Well spotted. We'll fix it. Any chance for PR?
 Sorry I should really have sent a PR with the bug report.

I'm recently pretty swamped. Spent a day and an evening trying to upgrade Mockito (thought it was a low-hanging fruit) but then had to draw the line because fixing all the breakage in Google's codebase had started to look like a sizable project.
 Thanks a lot for the reports. This is great stuff. Thank you for pushing
mockito upgrade at G. This helps a lot because you have already fleshed out
a couple of bugs.

StackOverflowError in MockitoSerializationIssue.java
In MockitoSerializationIssue.filterStackTrace(), it calls `filter.filter(this)`, which then calls getStackTrace() again, causing an infinite recursion.
