Problem

Dumping the record results in a stackoverflow exception.

Thanks for your great program.

I'll change the way records are dumped in the next LINQPad build so that it doesn't call ToString() on them (as this is unnecessary). This will let you dump the records, but you may still run into a stack overflow in other scenarios (including outside LINQPad) because it's the compiler-generated ToString() method that's causing the stack overflow.

You can fix this by overriding ToString() on the record.

Yes, that fixes it. Thanks
