Description Marcus Meissner 2005-12-03 10:59:43 UTC 
the banshee import folder can go into endless recursions.

for instance if you have a wine setup, 
~/.wine/dosdevices has symlinks pointing to / and to /home/$USER/.

if you just import your homedir (out of laziness, like I did), banshee
will stumble upon this directory and start traversing the homedirectory and/or
root, again and again and again and again.

Some sort of recursion detection logic should be added.

Assigning to Banshee developer.

This is fixed in a more recent Banshee.
