I did some investigations.
When this happens, sym_calc_value() was called recursively.

main
  conf_set_all_new_symbols
    sym_calc_value ("choice list CD")
      sym_calc_visibility ("choice list CD")
        expr_calc_value
          sym_calc_value ("A")

On this place in sym_calc_value(), sym->def[S_DEF_USER].tri was 'yes'
and sym->visible was 'mod'.

		newval.tri = EXPR_AND(sym->def[S_DEF_USER].tri,
				      sym->visible);
		goto calc_newval;

Then new value of CONFIG_A will be 'mod'.

I suppose sym->visible is 'mod' because default value of tristate
choice is 'mod'.  Is this correct?
Any suggestions for fixing or debugging?
