   If a function X() is called by function Y() twice in sequence from the   
   same machine address of Y() with the same parameters to X() and the   
   execution trace shows no conditional branch instructions in Y() or   
   function call returns in X() then the function call from Y() to X() is   
   infinitely recursive unless X() stops it.   
      
   The referenced excution trace is on x86 machine language, disassembled   
   for human consumption.
