Hi guys,<div><br></div><div>Playing with some recursive data-structure I have found some strange piece of behavior in Pharo.</div><div><br></div><div>If in an workspace we try to evaluate:</div><div><br></div><div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">a := Association new.</font></div>

<div><font face="courier new, monospace">a key: 3.</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">a value: a.</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">a == a value.</font></div><div><br></div><div>the first time we get &quot;true&quot;, the second we get an infinite loop...�</div>

<div><br></div><div>A simple workaround is to declare &quot;a&quot;:</div><div><br></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">|a|</font></div><div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">a := Association new.</font></div>

<div><font face="courier new, monospace">a key: 3.</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">a value: a.</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">a == a value.</font></div></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"><br>

</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">My question now is: Is this a bug or a feature ?</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">By the way the same thing happens in 1.4 and 2.0 equally.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">By the way, in Pharo 2.0 doing cmd + . erases the lines selected in the workspace replacing them by &quot;.&quot;�</font></div>
