Description William Leonard 2008-01-02 17:25:33 UTC 
Given the following class:

class Recursive
  
  def method_missing(method)
    puts "There was no #{methd} method, but please try again."
  end
end

(note the spelling error #{methd})

Open IRB
> load 'main.rb'
> r = Recursive.new
> r.anything

IRB will crash. Running this from the command line smartly returns a stack level too deep error.

Confirmed. Quite an edge case. Likely not for 6.1.
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2008-08-18 23:49:45 UTC 
Was 'jirb' issue, I guess which we are not using anymore. Thus fixed.
