 * milestone:   => 7.10.3


Comment:

 Doesn't loop in HEAD.

 Looks like #10806.

 We don't know which particular commit fixed it, so backporting the fix to
 7.10.3 (if we have it) would involve real work by Iavor.

 Still, since it's come up twice I'll milestone it for 7.10.3 to give
 people a chance to yell that it's mission-critical.
