Yes, it does recurse infinitely with any objects.
That's what you code does.

But it does not throw a SystemStackError

At me (OS X), it depends quite much.
(ruby 1.9.3dev (2010-08-13) [x86_64-darwin10.4.0], ruby 1.9.2dev
(2010-08-09 revision 28936) [x86_64-darwin10.4.0])

Running with 1.9.{2,3} as a script produce a SystemStackError.

However, sometimes, running in IRB or with 'GC.stress = true' cause
segfault, with 1.9.3.

So it is a 1.9.3-specific problem at me. (1.9.2 with GC.stress take a
while so I suppose there is no problem)

B.D.
