7267,Infinite recursion in get_category_parents() and _children(),tellyworth,anonymous,"These two functions can get stuck in a recursion loop if there's an indirect category hierarchy loop like A -> B -> C -> A.

The patch keeps track of traversed IDs and prevents repetition - there's a name for the algorithm but it escapes me.  It increases memory usage but probably not too much - certainly less than infinite recursion does.
