Hello Nicolas!

You have defined a function echo that
- calls itself with the first argument 'test' and the second argument '}' (!!!)
- calls itself with the first and only argument test
Try
type -a echo
and
Echo() {
echo test }
Echo test
}
Echo
to get an insight was is happening.
So, it's no surprise that bash finally crashes.
Most probably you want to insert a ; before the first closing }:
echo() { echo test ; }
But even now bash will crash.
Best regards
Martin
