Curious error from Rake

[Daniel Berger]

Hi,

Ruby 1.8.6

I accidentally made a rake task a prerequisite of itself like so:

task :foo => [:foo] do
puts "hello"
end

And I got this output:

stopping only thread
note: use sleep to stop forever

No complaints really. Just thought it was an odd error, and I got zero
hits when I searched the ruby-talk archives. Anyone have an
explanation?

Regards,

Dan

Maybe an infinite loop causing a stack overflow?
