Infinite loop at bootstrap with self-referencing parameterized interfaces

[swiegersf.francois.swiegers.gmail.com]

Good day,

I have the following interfaces in my workspace:

public interface SomeInterface<T> {

     AnotherInterface<T> doSomething();

     public interface AnotherInterface<T> extends SomeInterface<T> {
     }

}

When I try to bootstrap Weld, I get the following StackOverflowError

This happens only when

1. the interfaces are parameterized


2. the second interface extends the first and


3. the first interface has a method with the second interface as a return type

Also note that these are not interfaces to CDI managed beans at all - I'm not sure why Weld is even attempting to read them.
