---------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to provide a data point, since this started biting me.  I am seeing this issue with a recursive schema on Ubuntu 14.04, g++4.8.4 with Avro 1.8.0 when using the jsonEncoder, but I have *not* been seeing it with a validatingEncoder.
