Yup, it's me again.

I dunno if I just suck, or if I'm really pushing this parser. I am making a call to facebook to get user data. The user data comes back as JSON. Most of it is simple string data. There are 3 fields that are arrays. Those arrays contain only 2 items (id and name). I have attempted to create the class based on the JSON and deserialize into it. I am receiving another salesforce system error.

System.UnexpectedException: Salesforce System Error: 996229906-358 (-433257328) (-433257328) 
An unexpected error has occurred. Your solution provider has been notified. (system)

Here is the json I am attempting to parse (cleaned up a bit)

OR EASILY PASTEABLE VERSION

 Here is the code I am trying to run. You should be able to run this in execute anonymous. I have tried running it regular as well (being invoked by the page, which has the class as a controller) and get the same error either way.

string jsonData = '{ "id": "XXXXX", "name": "XXXXXX XXXXXXX", "first_name": "XXXXXX", "last_name": "XXXXXX", "link": "http://www.facebook.com/XXXXXX", "username": "XXXXXX", "about": "some data about the person.", "birthday": "00/00/0000", "hometown": { "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "name": "Somewhere, New York" }, "location": { "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "name": "Nowhere, Nevada" }, "bio": "This is some demo text", "inspirational_people": [ { "id": "109425469076258", "name": "Miyamoto Musashi" }, { "id": "112377255503169", "name": "Kenshin Himura" }, { "id": "135952326470380", "name": "Spike Spiegel" }, { "id": "146133595436195", "name": "Kamina" }, { "id": "12534674842", "name": "Albert Einstein" }, { "id": "184049470633", "name": "Bruce Lee" } ], "gender": "male", "email": "XXXXXX@XXXXXX.com", "timezone": -4, "locale": "en_US", "verified": true, "updated_time": "2011-11-07T21:17:55+0000" }';

            this.inspirational_people = new list<dataItem>();      
        }
    }
    
    class dataItem 
    {
        public string id;
        public string name;
        
        public dataItem(string id, string name)
        {
            this.id = id;
            this.name = name;
        }
    }

//I have tried deserializing to a list, as well as  a single object
list<facebookUser> d = (list<facebookUser>)JSON.deserialize( jsonData,facebookUser.class);

//This fails too
facebookUser d = (facebookUser)JSON.deserialize( jsonData,facebookUser.class); 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you.
