Stack Overflow from Recursive Constructors #31

I had created an enum, PrivacyState, that had a function named getPrivacyStates() that returned all of the PrivacyState enums. I then passed that array to JSONArray(Object obj) constructor. This causes a stack overflow.

I have since removed the function entirely in favor of values() that is built into enum, which solves my problem, but technically a similar situation could still cause the bug to appear.

Thanks.
