int foo(string arg)
{
    return foo(arg.dup);  // calls itself, stack overflow!
}

void main()
{
    foo("foo");
}
-----

Note that storing the .dup to a variable first avoids the accepts-invalid:

-----
int foo(string arg)
{
    auto duped = arg.dup;
    return foo(duped);  // NG, caught at compile-time
}

void main()
{
    foo("foo");
}
