Steps to reproduce:

With a small directory structure like the one described here, this is just annoying due to duplicated listings for the same file. It does seem to terminate at some point. At larger file sizes, this could cause indexing to take a really long time and consume a lot of memory.

I'm not sure if this is a duplicate. There are multiple somewhat unclearly defined issues related to this bug, so it's hard to understand which it could be. If this issue ends up being more specific than some of the other more vague reports, I'd like to keep it open.
