Loop in AS macro

  Hi Gilles,
  
  I guess we wouldn't be able to check against those accidents at the time
  of a DB _update_...
  
  But checking the RR internal _data_ consistency could maybe become part
  of the RIS (or similar) project?
  
  Henk, any comments?
  
  An interesting aside: I guess similar problems could occur with
  RPSL-based RRs?

Dear database managers,

I notice a loop in the followings AS-MACRO, in fact  AS-TELEDANMARKINTERNATIONAL
is calling AS-TLI which is calling AS-TELEDK which is calling AS-TELEDANMARKINTERNATIONAL.
(and all that make that our automatic filter generation tool fails)

Could you correct those macro and will the Ripe database management provide any 
control on that kind of loop ?
