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. Create a string property
2. set its content from inside the class
3. run the app

Actual Results:

What you see is a Unhandled Exception: System.StackOverflowException: The
requested operation caused a stack overflow.
and a long dump of something like this:

in <0x00000> T:set_Blah (string)
in <0x0000a> T:set_Blah (string)
in <0x0000a> T:set_Blah (string)
in <0x0000a> T:set_Blah (string)
in <0x0000a> T:set_Blah (string)
....



Expected Results:

The property should just be set

How often does this happen? 

All the time

Additional Information:

I also had someone test on the IRC using a newer version of mono, and they
were able to reproduce the problem.

Here's an attached sample class that causes the error.

using System; 

class T {
	public static string Blah {
		get { return (Blah);}
		set { Blah = value;}
	}
	
	public static void Main()
	{
		Blah = "this is a test";
		Console.WriteLine(Blah);	
	
	}
}

IT does not have to be a string. setting any property causes an exception

Your set property is recursive.

public static string Blah {
	get { return (Blah);}
	set { Blah = value;}
}

The endless recursion is causing the stack overflow.
Changing code to

private string _blah;

public static string Blah {
	get { return _blah;}
	set { _blah = value;}
}

should work without problems.
