Phil, how about verifying circular dependencies in checkpkg? These are
especially bad as they break the package install/update process with
pkg-get. It would be even more difficult to discover if the chain was
not mutual, but longer.

Peter, pkgutil loops also at 100% cpu without notice. It should be  
fairly
easy to detect loops in Perl. pkg-get only loops when the package  
containing
the loop is installed, pkg-util loops on all installs.
