I observed the issue when playing around with Inspeckage and DIVA. In DIVA, many methods are passed a View or another class that contains multiple references to other objects.
I did not find a trivial way to limit Gson parsing of nested objects (especially if it should support arbitrary objects, and not objects that are defined with Gson de/serialization in mind). In my tests, simply using toString() instead of gson.toJson() avoided the problem at the cost of the output format's "beauty".

UserHooks parseParams causes an OutOfMemoryError when serializing a non-trivial, nested Object to JSON.
