Description

The following config causes the config slurper to create an object that subsequently causes a stackoverflow error.

I believe the root cause starts here.

http://github.com/russel/groovy/commit/05248f609f805d9a467a6fa6bd07dacaa71a71ef#L1R221

def cfg = """
smc{
  pages{
    smc {
      type="smcAdminPage"
    }
  }
}
"""

ConfigObject c = new ConfigSlurper().parse(cfg)

print c
