Comment(by conradwt@…):

 Yes, I agree that MacRuby should generate an exception.  For example, in
 Ruby 1.9.1/1.9.2, the following is generated:

 {{{

 $ ruby stack-overflow.rb
 stack-overflow.rb:6:in `b': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
         from stack-overflow.rb:2:in `a'
         from stack-overflow.rb:6:in `b'
         from stack-overflow.rb:2:in `a'
         from stack-overflow.rb:6:in `b'
         from stack-overflow.rb:2:in `a'
         from stack-overflow.rb:6:in `b'
         from stack-overflow.rb:2:in `a'
         from stack-overflow.rb:6:in `b'
          ... 8718 levels...
         from stack-overflow.rb:2:in `a'
         from stack-overflow.rb:6:in `b'
         from stack-overflow.rb:2:in `a'
         from stack-overflow.rb:9:in `<main>'
 }}}
