This bug effects inexperienced Squeak programmers, who are more likely
to accidentally write infinite recursions, and who are less likely to
know how to recover their changes when Squeak hangs up or crashes as a
result of the bug. The bug was reported September 2003, and a one-line
fix was proposed May 2004.

It's a bit tricky to test this because the bug crashes the VM (or hangs
it up in infinite memory allocation), but it's only a one-line fix so if
someone could please have a look I'd appreciate it.
