(This bug has been transposed from the
WikiDefectRedirectCyclesAreNotDetected page. It was
originally submitted by JohnHarris)
Redirect loops can cause page to never finish loading
(see RedirectProperty). If you redirect x to y, which is
already redirected to x, making a loop, then try to bring
up one, the page never finishes loading, and the
progress bar (in IE) keeps flashing.

It also appears to be possible to redirect a page to itself. See
ChineseVersion
(http://www.flexwiki.com/default.aspx/FlexWiki/ChineseVersio
n.html) on FlexWiki.com for example.

Bug still present.
Test:
Create a topic called RedirectTest
Add the text
