Hi all,
Ruby 1.8.x (2,3,4)
Suse Linux 9.3
gcc 3.3.5
1 gb ram
Linux linux 2.6.11.4-21.9-default #1 Fri Aug 19 11:58:59 UTC 2005 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I notice that when I try a recursive function in an attempt to
deliberately raise a SystemStackError, it instead just goes into an
infinite loop, freezes my system, and is eventually killed (with no
error), by the OS.
def foo; foo; end # example
I don't see this behavior on my other (Solaris, Windows) machines.
What's up?
Thanks,
Dan
