[geeklog-devel] Circular group references

[Blaine Lang]

Sure - maybe I can use some of the logic I had to figure out for that Block
I wrote a few weeks ago to query and update the access rights. I had to work
at the SQL level.

I will work on that.

BTW, I duplicated the problem - nasty but I'm sure very unusual.
