WordPress 2.8.5 on Resin 3.1.9

I’ve installed WordPress 2.8.5 on the Resin 3.1.9 webserver, and the install went smooth but both the front page and the admin page won’t load, and shows a StackOverflowError..

This error can be traced to the do_action method: /wp-includes/plugin.php line 336:

do {
   foreach ( (array) current($wp_filter[$tag]) as $the_ )
      if ( !is_null($the_['function']) )
         call_user_func_array($the_['function'], array_slice($args, 0, (int) $the_['accepted_args']));
} while ( next($wp_filter[$tag]) !== false );

If I comment out this while loop, I can see the front page just fine and everything there seems to work.

The admin area however does not use CSS anymore, maybe because of that loop I removed? but seems to work otherwise (adding/editing posts).
I assume the lines I removed do something plugin related, so I guess plugins wont work with that loop removed?

Anyone got any bright ideas on how to get it fully working?
