Stack Overflow on circular assignment

I don't know if this is proper/expected behavior or not, but if I circularly
define a variable I get a stack overflow as it flips back and forth. They were
in two separate xsl files, if that makes a difference. If you can't reproduce,
I'll come up with a test-case.

Wouldn't a more graceful failure be a test to see if a variable is already being
resolved, and if so, die with a '$foo and $bar are circularly defined' (or not
list the variables, if that's inconvenient)?
