Subject: Why is this not allowed?

Hi,

can you explain me why is this not allowed?
I can't see a problematic counterexample.

        Objective Caml version 2.04

# let id x = x;;
val id : 'a -> 'a = <fun>
# let rec id' x = id x;;
val id' : 'a -> 'a = <fun>
# let rec id'' = id;;
This kind of expression is not allowed as right-hand side of `let rec'

                                                        T.I.A.
                                                        C.S.C.
