 I have a table with the following schema:
 {{{
 CREATE TABLE `sections` (
   `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `course_id` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
   `instructor_id` int(10) unsigned default NULL,
   `section` varchar(10) NOT NULL default '1',
   PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
   KEY `instructor_id` (`instructor_id`),
   KEY `course_id` (`course_id`)
 ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=5518 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
 }}}

 This table "has many" courses. The structure of the courses table is
 probably not related to this issue.

 In my courses/add view, I have the following line:
 {{{
 echo $form->text('Section.section', array('maxlength'=>'10'));
 }}}

 Which produces the following HTML output:
 {{{
 <input name="data[Section][Section][section]" type="text" maxlength="10"
 value="" id="SectionSectionSection" />
 }}}

 Note the double repetition of 'Section' in the name attribute (and triple
 repetition in the id attribute). I would expect the name to be
 data[Section][section].

 I do not know the root cause of this issue, but I do know that it has only
 happened when the field in question has the same name as the inflected
 model name, as it does in this example.
