Rails - Dec 2005 - Possible bug

Hi all I''m trying user alias_method to overload the link_to method,  It
works the first time,  but when I reload the page, it will have an error
"stack level too deep".

I''m using rails 0.14.3  ruby 1.8.2 Webrick in winxp, I suspect it is a
bug.

this is my helper''s code

module UsersHelper
  include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper

  alias_method :link_to_original, :link_to

  def link_to(name, options = {}, html_options
nil,*parameters_for_method_reference)
     if permission?
       link_to_original( name,
options,html_options,*parameters_for_method_reference )
     end
  end


end

Does this happen in production mode or just in development? In development
code is reloaded on every request. On the second request you will loose
link_to_original, both methodnames will cover your link_to version ...
