[MacRuby-devel] EXC_BAD_ACCESS When Reopening NSDate

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Your code causes an infinite loop. It's because you're calling #to_s  
recursively. It has nothing to do with re-opening NSDate.

The same happens with the original version of Ruby, BTW.

$ ruby19 -e "class Foo; def to_s; p '%p' % self; end; end; p Foo.new"
-e:1: stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
