But here we differ in opinion! 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! :-}
