Description

If I try to connect to my distributed system using gfsh via the -e flag, but fail to provide the username and password required since my cluster is configured to use a SecurityManager, I get a java.lang.StackOverflowError.

It seems that org.apache.geode.management.internal.cli.commands.ShellCommands.jmxConnect calls itself recursively and eventually blows through the stack.
