Using the login\_engine and the user\_engine with the Rails edge version  
and with the edge version of the engines plugin I get the following  
error:

SystemStackError in #

stack level too deep

and then the trace:  
./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/core\_ext/class/inheritable\_attributes.rb:100:in

and so on… (same 2 lines)

Any idea what or why ?

Yeah, I’m getting the same thing with edge rails. If I revert back to  
rails 1.0, it works fine.

Edge Rails works fine for me with  
[http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_engines/engines/branches/edge/](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_engines/engines/branches/edge/) the Edge  
Branch.
