I don't understand the problem your having.

It doesn't matter, in the example your using now, whether or not you use
command line arguments or not, the script recurses infinitely (at least
for me), so long as the file is in the current directory, of course.  In
fact, this script works too:

#!/bin/sh
echo      # could add any old string here to see the output
./asdf.sh

The output is a series of blank lines, but at least initially you should
see the last prompt and the command scrolling up and off the top of the
window.

I tried your original script, as well, and could not get it to duplicate
as you described.

What am I missing?
