(...) I don't think this can be fixed (although any serious syntax-check-type utility should catch it). So any program which processes LDraw files must check the reference-chain for recursive calls. I think it hasn't been an issue because most (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The lich is evil I tell ya! Well maybe just recursive MPD files are evil. Do you realize ring2.dat is an ldraw primitive and that by redefining it in the MPD file you've created an infinite loop of dat file includes. ring2.dat -> flame3.dat -> (...)
