Description:
        Bash dumps core (after reporting "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)") 
when
        a recursive shell function is called

Repeat-By:
        By mistake I had a shell function defined as
        cleartool() {
            cleartool
        }
        when I ran the command cleartoo, the shell went into an infite loop and
        dumped core unlike the ksh counterpart.
