Stack Overflow crashes Visual Studio

[tomgilder]

Running the the one test method below brings down Visual Studio 2015 every time for me, with Alive 1.3.7.

Example project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bq668pqhpowv0bl/AliveCrash.zip?dl=0

    public class Tests
    {
        [Fact]
        public void Crash_test()
        {
            StackOverflow.Go();
        }
    }

    public static class StackOverflow
    {
        public static void Go()
        {
            Go();
        }
    }

Thank you for heads up! We are thinking about the best way to tackle this.

When running Go directly, our stack overflow prevention mechanism works fine. On my machine, Alive stops after around 8000 iterations. When running Crash_test, I also get StackOverflowException. We need to find a feasible way to activate the stack overflow prevention mechanism.

We're going to have to run this out-of-process to handle this. Unfortunately this isn't going to be a trivial fix so it's going to take us some time.

We've started working on moving execution out-of-process to handle this.
