+Summary: stack overflow exception not thrown on deep recursion, program mysteriously exits instead
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Write a recursive method that has some meat inside the recursion (flow 
+control, variable assignment, etc.).  Write some code so that the 
+recursion "recurses" a lot.
+2. Run the program using Microsoft's runtime, you will get a stack 
+overflow exception when the recursion gets too deep.
+3. Run the program on Mono, the runtime will not throw the exception, but 
+will merely exit unexpectedly.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+No exception thrown
+
+Expected Results:
+
+System.StackOverflowException (not sure of spelling)
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Every time with the mono runtime on linux.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I was wondering what was going on (why my program was unexpectedly 
+stopping) and so I ran it on Microsoft's runtime and it threw the 
+exception.
