Function/alias recursion

[Tim Waugh]

What is the intended behaviour for this sort of thing?:

$ cat <<"EOF" >trouble
hello ()
{
    pwd
}
alias pwd="hello"
EOF
$ source trouble
$ source trouble
$ pwd

The behaviour I've observed with bash-3.2 and several earlier releases
is that bash consumes all available memory and then crashes.
