Hi Michael,

Did you have a python module installed?  In that case the python module
is causing unlimited recursion (of some sort).

The error is a basic loop-counter stop on unlimited work by a request.
Other loop counters should stop endless CNAME chains and suchlike, so
this one should really not fire, it is part of defense in depth...

If you make the following tiny change, it'll report the name of the
query next time.
