I think this is simply us being too eager to use the in-flight exception when re-raising, not realizing we're stuffing the same exception into itself again. Looking. |

I've fixed the issue, but the test would be better going into ruby/spec (spec/ruby/core/exception or spec/ruby/core/kernel/raise_spec.rb). |

In general Java exceptions should not have themselves as cause and JRuby in most cases handles this correctly.
We just ran into a problem where an
ArgumentErrorraised due to an encoding problem does have itself as cause which leads to a problem in an ActiveSupport method.The ActiveSupport method is a little dangerous/questionable by itself, but the recursive cause should be prevented in JRuby nonetheless and there is also a test that checks this for
RuntimeErrors.We're not sure if this is the most general reproduction, so feel free to ignore this PR if you find a more general test.
