 Infinite recursion in MRI reports that the stack is too deep. With
 MacRuby, "segmentation fault: 11" is dumped to the console.

 Here's a simple test:

 {{{
 def recurse
   recurse
 end

 recurse
 }}}

 MRI output:

 {{{
 test.rb:2:in `recurse': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)
         from test.rb:2:in `recurse'
         from test.rb:5
 }}}

 MacRuby output:

 {{{
 Segmentation fault: 11
 }}}
