Description
select_related fails if there's a loop in ForeignKey relationships. fill_table_cache, which recursively follows ForeignKeys to generate the SQL query, was mentioned as a candidate for this in #2549 . This should now be fixed by the patch in #2874. get_cached_row, which recursively populates objects from the result of the query, suffers from the same problem.
I'll try get a patch up for this at some point.
