But that is a different method - #inspect is invoked at specific places 
(e.g. from method "p") and if you change the name that won't happen.

I do not know the data structure that you are printing there but if you 
have circular dependencies that might explain the issue you are seeing. 
  The error you reported was really what happens on recursion which is 
not terminated before it runs out of stack space:

irb(main):011:0> def f;f; end
=> nil
irb(main):012:0> f
SystemStackError: stack level too deep
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/irb/workspace.rb:80
