he, you'll need a better system that finishs this endless loop under one minute ;-)

It's a known issue. You're simply creating an endless loop of internal
redirects. Thatswhy you already should test your rules before putting them on a
production server.

However, I'm changing this to an Enhancement request. We should be able to set a
configurable limit of maximum redirects issued by mod_rewrite.

Thanks for using Apache!
