Subject: [ruby-dev:37045] super dynamic class definition causes infinite loop

須藤です。

以下のスクリプトの2回目のdefined_class.newで無限ループになっ
てしまいます。

---
def define_class(parent=nil)
  Class.new(parent || Object) do
    def initialize
      super
    end
  end
end

defined_class = define_class
p defined_class.new

define_class(defined_class)
p defined_class.new
