It is not a bug. You recursively call A.hello. You want:
p "C #{super}"

Why would you consider this a bug? What on earth were you expecting =20
it to do? You define a method with no arguments that always calls =20
itself, and then you call it, and ruby complains from the infinite =20
recursion.

What else would you have it do?

map{y/X_/\n /;print}map{pop@$_}@/for@/

I hope ruby can contextual valid...
