Why would it not be legit?

It looks kind of like infinite recursion involving tasks to me.

Probably not something you would want to do, but expecting a lot for the 
compiler to detect the condition.  If the compiler did detect the condition, 
the most I would hope for is a warning... after all it may have been the 
intent.
