 ArrayList.Add returns an `int' (the position of the new element).
 
 My mcs.exe will not compile this when you do SomeMethod as having an
 int param. Maybe 1.1.2 had a funky bug. Try the latest unstable build
 (1.1.4)

+Ha, I just looked a little closer at what the intent of the
+original code was doing, and in fact the method DoSomething 
+and SomeMethod actually have the same name but different 
+signatures...
+
+My snippet should have said that DoSomething was trying to
+call DoSomething with a different signature.
+
+so there is both
+
+private void DoSomething(int i, ArrayList a) {}
+
+and 
+
+private void DoSomething(int i, long j)
+{
+    ArrayList temp = new ArrayList();
+    temp.Add(j);
+    DoSomething(i, temp);
+}
+
+So the compiler was cool with the implicit cast from int
+to long and when the method got executed it blew away
+the stack in infinite recursion...
+
+thank you Ben...
