Hello guys, if you have still means to reproduce the mentioned behavior, I have a test version (unofficial 0.7.14pre1) which should avoid such loops for sure. It also eliminates a couple of possible scenarios that may have caused the looping itself... and if the reason is still there, it will tell you where (using the -SIGUSR2 signal to dump information ).
The bad news is that I found a rare misbehaviour during stress testing where I am not 100% sure where it comes from... the stable/Sid versions shouldn't be a problem because another little bug covered or neutralized the effects of this problem but I am not happy to see this problem in an official release without fully understanding the reason, and since I am lacking spare time to tackle this right now, there is a private experimental version that I offer instead.
