Try-finally block prevents StackOverflowError

by

Take a look at the following two methods:

public static void foo() {
    try {
        foo();
    } finally {
        foo();
    }
}

public static void bar() {
    bar();
}

Running bar() clearly results in a StackOverflowError, but running foo() does not (the program just seems to run indefinitely). Why is that?
