some thots: split the line up in two, see which one is causing the  
problem, [is it link\_to–is it h?] and also post the exact line of code  
that is causing the problem.

I know I had a problem once when I redefined to\_str  
class Integer  
def to\_str  
to\_s  
end  
end  
‘’ == 3

Which for some odd reason causes stack level too deep.
