StackOverflowError when calling user.save()

Hello!

I'm setting up a turbine/torque site and I am having trouble with my user om
class. Calling the save method initiates a circular pattern of method calls.
After a few seconds the JVM thorws a StackOverflowError. At first I thought
it might have something to do with my configuration on extending the turbine
user but I tried to do it with the turbine user class
(org.apache.turbine.om.security.TurbineUser) and the same error occurs.

Here is my code:

 

TurbineUser user = new TurbineUser();

user.setEmail("[email protected]");

user.setName("R2D2");

user.setPassword("ilovec3po");

user.setFirstName("R2");

user.setLastName("D2");

user.save();

 

This is the stack trace that is printed:

The four last lines then loop forever (at least for a long while =) )

I took a  look in the code for TorqueUserManager and the last thing done in
the createAccount-method is to save the user object wich does indeed start
the process over again. Is this correct?

Any help is appreciated.
