Hi, inside the method create_settings() of the class Acme_Company_Dashboard it is called the method run() of the object $name, instance of the class Acme_Company_Name. Yet the class Acme_Company_Name only have the three methods register(), display() and sanitize(), and inherits the method run() from the same class Acme_Company_Dashboard, the method run() calls again the method cited above create_settings() producing a loop that, in my script, generates an error of reached memory limit (Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted).

I have noticed the same issue.
