------------------------------------------

yes - please report this issue to sun ;)

You can't technically have any circular model defined in hashmaps even in java.

> When the toString() method is called on an entity (i.e. on a HashMap) then a StackOverflow occurs.
> The members of an association are stored in map entry with a PersistentList value.
> The PersistentList in turn contains HashMaps, that contain PersistentLists again, ...
> The toString() method must take care of cycles.
