StackOverflowException when using an array of service references

[Reis]

I'm trying to create an object graph of 3 TestDevice instances, the
first instance owning the second 2.

What I'm finding is that I get a StackOverflowException, because
device2 is being recursively created. That is to say, if I set a
breakpoint on the constructor of TestDevice class, it will get
continually called until the stack overflows.

I'm new to Castle, so I'm guessing there is something simple that I'm
doing wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll look into this.

Can you create a failing test case demonstrating the behavior you'd
expect it to expose?
