[9247] infinite loop

[Hendrik Mans]

Hi everyone,

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/9247 just broke some stuff in my
application in a fun way. I believe it only affects this very specific
edge case, though:

class Picture
belongs_to :user
end

class User
has_many :pictures, :dependent => :destroy
belongs_to :picture # this is the picture used as his avatar
end

Thanks to [9247], things get caught up in an infinite loop.

I'm not familiar with Rails internals enough to have a go at fixing
this, but thought you may want to know.

Cheers,
Hendrik

I apologize for the bad thread title; I'd included the faulty revision
number in it, but Google Groups must have removed it. Sorry!

I was getting this too. I'm going to revert the commit. Thanks for
the small test case, we should be able to turn that into a regression
test before the patch can be re-accepted.
