This mapping does not (as you seem to intend) trigger the normal-mode
mapping for <F5>, because it never leaves visual mode. Instead, it
just continually calls itself recursively until it reaches the limit
defined in Vim, I think by a configurable option.

You probably want something like:

vmap <F5> <ESC><F5>gv
