There is a redirect loop protection as well in Gecko since years and it seems to work for me. I created a testcase at http://www.mversen.de/a and get the expected error with FF3.6.8 and Seamonkey trunk. Please try http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode if my testurl doesn't rigger the error.
