Recompiling a method while it's on the stack

Hello Smalltalkers,

Kind of a thought experiment here, but is the behavior for recompiling a
method while it's on the stack defined? For example:

Object subclass: Foo [
foo [
Transcript print: 1; cr.
reloadSource.
Transcript print: 2; cr.
]

reloadSource [
FileStream fileIn: 'test.st'.
]
]

|f|

f := Foo new.
f foo.

I ran this, but did kind of an infinite loop thing. Is this a bug, or
is something like this supposed to happen?

Thanks,
Rob Hoelz

Nevermind...I need to look at my code a little more closely...
