      Description

      OK - so there is a known occasional issue with circular smart groups. I managed to reproduce on demo by

      1) creating a smart group
      2) editing the criteria of the smart group to include the smart group itself.

      After this the smart group gave a blank screen on demo (& does more destructive things on other sites depending on server config).

      So, 2 levels of fix -
      1) don't show the current group or any parent (or child?) groups on the smart group edit criteria screen
      2) Apply Dave J's get out of jail free patch which does an early return when the smart group is resolved a second time & prevents recursion loops (this takes place where a hierarchy is in place - eg. multisite).

      I'm happy with Dave's patch as being generally a good thing (albeit ambulance at the bottom of the cliff) & would like to go ahead & commit it - pref against 4.1.3 & we can keep the other part of this live for later. As a side issue I have been talking to Dave about the multi-site recursive resolution & whether it makes sense to resolve non-acl groups in this context.
