Description

When the attached unit test is run via:

groovy TestClass.groovy

then it works correctly. However, if it is compiled using groovyc and then run via the JUnit TestRunner, it throws a StackOverflowError:

java -cp ... junit.textui.TestRunner TestClass

It has something to do with attempting to call a method with the wrong number of arguments using the object.'method'() syntax.
