You are right... There is a loop, but it is not your fault. Here is what I get
if I step thru the code:
Entering:
* load("bbdb-vm" nil t nil)
apply(load ("bbdb-vm" nil t nil))
(if jka-op (apply jka-op args) (apply operation args)))
(progn (setq file-name-handler-alist (delq jka-compr-file-name-handler-entry
file-name-handler-alist)) (if jka-op (apply jka-op args) (apply operation args))))
....
* (unwind-protect (progn (setq file-name-handler-alist ...) (let ... ...)) (setq
file-name-handler-alist (delq jka-compr-file-name-handler-entry
file-name-handler-alist))))
* load("bbdb" nil t nil)
apply(load ("bbdb" nil t nil))
(if jka-op (apply jka-op args) (apply operation args)))
(progn (setq file-name-handler-alist (delq jka-compr-file-name-handler-entry
file-name-handler-alist)) (if jka-op (apply jka-op args) (apply operation args))))
....
* (unwind-protect (progn (setq file-name-handler-alist ...) (let ... ...)) (setq
file-name-handler-alist (delq jka-compr-file-name-handler-entry
file-name-handler-alist))))
* load("bbdb-vm" nil nil nil)
apply(load ("bbdb-vm" nil nil nil))
(if jka-op (apply jka-op args) (apply operation args)))
(progn (setq file-name-handler-alist (delq jka-compr-file-name-handler-entry
file-name-handler-alist)) (if jka-op (apply jka-op args) (apply operation args))))
(unwind-protect (progn (setq file-name-handler-alist ...) (if jka-op ... ...)) (setq
file-name-handler-alist (cons jka-compr-file-name-handler-entry
file-name-handler-alist))))
(let ((jka-op ...)) (unwind-protect (progn ... ...) (setq file-name-handler-alist
...))))
jka-compr-handler(load "bbdb-vm" nil nil nil)
(bbdb-insinuate-vm))
eval((bbdb-insinuate-vm))
eval-expression((bbdb-insinuate-vm))
call-interactively(eval-expression)
So we can see that the culprid is:... bbdb... well sort of. My guess is that
jka-compr19 should be robust to avoid this problem. But why does bbdb require
bbdb-vm, while bbdb-vm require bbdb too?

Well... it is not your fault for sure... I will let Jamie and Jay figure out
whose fault it is.
In any case, a fix is welcome...
