Infinite Loop on Cached 301 Redirects

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have two cached 301 redirects that redirect to each other
2. Request the page

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect a RedirectLimit to be raised.  Instead got a max recursion depth 
exceeded error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6.0 on Ubuntu 8.04

Please provide any additional information below.
Here's the contents of the cache for the URLs that caused the max recursion 
error:
