Protect it like a BSD system would. If you have the same filter more then an arbitrary amount (let's say 7) times on the stack, you probably didn't mean to do that, so make it error out. That is pretty much how BSD 4.4 lite protects symlink loops on the file system. -- Sander van Zoest [EMAIL PROTECTED] San Diego, CA, US http://Sander.vanZoest.com/
