[edit] Recursion unimportant?

Infinite recursion redirects to infinite loop. A combined discussion might be useful, but there isn't anything about recursion there at all. Similarly, stack overflow (the result of infinite recursion!) redirects to buffer overflow, which is unreleated (although buffers that overflow onto the stack could be called a stack overflow, that's not the only kind of stack overflow). Is there some reason that there's no discussion of the subject at any of the expected places? Is infinite recursion considered insufficiently notable when divorced from other problems? --Tardis 01:09, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
