Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.

This simple file makes Emacs loops and freeze when trying to export it.

#+MACRO: test {{{test}}}
{{{test}}}

I can concieve that no simple solution could be find.
In pandoc a recursion limit will be implemented (see
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3401).

At least, maybe a warning about such a behavior should be added to the manual.

This was fixed some time ago. Exporting this document should raise an
error. You may want to update Org.
