hi, finally i found the problem. i started to make my tests more complex, and then i found the big error (and the reason why i get a stack overflow): i have objects that are liked bidirectionally with each other. i call toString() on one of these objects, it dumps all private fields INCLUDING the referenced object. as the referenced object's toString() method is called, and as it references itself the first object again, a circular reference is being established, a lot of toString() methods on the same objects are being called again and again, and the stack overflow happens. didn't see that happening in my code before as i called toString() on my objects BEFORE i linked them bidirectionally.....
