Hmm, yes, I think I draw the line here. The common definition of "recur" is for something to happen again, but not specifically to happen while it is already happening. Google for example defines recur
as:
occur again, periodically, or repeatedly.
Hence, I think I prefer "recurse" for this specific case.
This is a contentious one — "recur" is the original verb, "recursive" is the adjective. Programmers have had their way with the language and some sources now recognize "recurse" as a verb.
