Prevent mod_rewrite from deadlooping





------- Additional Comments From nd@perlig.de  2003-03-01 20:32 -------
In 2.0 the trick doesn't work with your ruleset, because of a different
behaviour of mod_dir. You can crash the server, for example, with the following
in a htaccess file (in docroot):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) / [L]

However, a configurable limit was introduced in 2.1 and is proposed for backport.
