In my eyes, this *is* necessarily a bug! I often had Array's referencing itself. It is more of a fact of accident, that I had never tried to take a hash id from such an array! ;-) I think, there should be a way to let ruby handle such request correctly. But I have to admit, that I have no idea, right now, how we could achieve it! :-} > Regards Dave Regards Cle.
