Re:  Maximum recursion depth exceeded
Actually I'm probably also annoyingly imprecise earlier when I said that

" I don't think those would be considered as .NET languages, those are
languages implemented in .NET."

since I obviously don't know that they are implemented in .NET and not
in some unmanaged language and then wrapped...although that would
surprise me

Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
