dispatcher goes into infinite loop, crashes rather than throwing NoMethodError

[jean_pierre@…]

>> class Giant
>   def name
>     @name
>     end
>   def setName(name)
>     @name = name
>     end
>   end
# => nil

>> g = Giant.new
# => #<Giant:0x19fdd90>

>> g.name = 'Fasolt'
zsh: segmentation fault  /usr/local/bin/irb

seems like the dispatcher knows of the setName / name= bridging and is getting hung up somewhere.

Fixed in trunk.

$ cat /tmp/t.rb 
class Giant
  def name
    @name
  end
  def setName(name)
    @name = name
  end
end

g = Giant.new
g.name = 'Fasolt'
$ macruby /tmp/t.rb 
/tmp/t.rb:11:in `<main>': undefined method `name=' for #<Giant:0x28a11f0> (NoMethodError)

The foo=: shortcut only works if setFoo: is a real Objective-C method. It does not work if setFoo: is implemented in Ruby to not cause confusion, if one defines both foo=: and setFoo:, as these are 2 different methods.
