Hi, learning clojure and came across some code discussing swing and a code 
for a flipper as below 

(defn new-flipper []
  (agent {:total 0, :heads 0,
          :running false,
          :random (java.util.Random.)}))

(defn calculate [state]
  (if (:running state)
    (do (send *agent* calculate)
        (assoc state
          :total (inc (:total state))
          :heads (if (.nextBoolean (:random state))
                   (inc (:heads state))
                   (:heads state))))
    state))

(defn start [state]
  (send *agent* calculate)
  (assoc state :running true))

(defn stop [state]
  (assoc state :running false))

Under 1.2.1 when i run using

(def flipper (new-flipper))
(send flipper start) 

all seems fine and the counts increase and can be viewed by deref'ing 
flipper.

But under 1.3 and a build of 1.4 from a few days ago it quickly grinds to a 
halt and a deref gives the exception below.

Probably my lack of understand, but wasn't expecting and out of memory 
given the code.

What's happening ??
Thank
