You have defined a function echo that
- calls itself with the first argument 'test' and the second argument '}' (!!!)
- calls itself with the first and only argument test

Try

type -a echo

and

Echo() {
  echo test }
  Echo test
}
Echo

to get an insight was is happening.

So, it's no surprise that bash finally crashes.

Most probably you want to insert a ; before the first closing }:

echo() { echo test ; }

But even now bash will crash.
