Subject: ruby leaks on "special" use of include

Just tried to do some fancy (probably inappropriate)
things with include:

module Foo
    def foo
        puts "foo called"
    end
end

class MyClass
    class << self
        def include(*args)
            include *args
        end
    end
    def try_include
        self.class.include Foo
        puts "included Foo"
        self.foo
    end
end

obj = MyClass.new
obj.try_include

When I feed ruby with this code, it fills all available memory
(including swap) and the only way to stop it is per KILL.
BTW: "included Foo" is never printed.

% ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux]

Is this a bug of ruby?
