[Unbound-users] error: internal error: looping module stopped

[Slingerland, Michael van]

Hi Wouter,

I have no python modules running. So this must be endless CNAME chain or such.

If it happens more often I will modify the code to do some more in dept analysis.

Thanks again,
Mike

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.
