At some level, e.g. computer A views B, B views A, and so on increasing the number of computers in the loop (A views B, B views C, C views A, etc.) it isn't simple to detect such things.
For A views A, though, the client could detect it's connecting to the same IP it's running on -- but with IP forwarding e.g. through an SSH tunnel, it's common to connect to localhost, with the SSH client forwarding the connection through to the server on the other end of the ssh session.
So maybe it's not an easy situation to detect.

I run Win98SE and the RealVNC server, and when I connect to it with the RealVNC client from the same machine, the RealVNC viewer process has to be terminated beacuse of the viewer displaying the contents of itself. Seems like a fun anomaly to me.
What did you expect it to do?
