I made a slight error in my previous message in refering to ancestors
and descendants of packets interchangeably.  A loop occurs when a packet
that is a (proper or not) descendant of a packet you have seen before
arrives and is destined for the same recipients.  A packet which is a 
proper ancestor of a packet you've seen before may or may not have
looped (one of the packets in my example falls under this category).
