>Description:

The *-subversion pkgs, for example www/ap2-subversion and devel/p5-subversion
have a circular dependency. 

For example when building devel/p5-subversion it says:

===> Required installed package subversion-base>=1.0.6: subversion-base-1.0.6 found
===> Required installed package apr>=0.9.5.2.0.50: apr-0.9.5.2.0.50 found
===> Required installed package db4>=4.2.52nb1: db4-4.2.52nb4 found
===> Required installed package neon>=0.24.4: neon-0.24.7 found
===> Required installed package expat>=1.95.7: expat-1.95.8 found
===> Required installed package swig-perl>=1.3.19: swig-perl-1.3.19 found
===> Required installed package {perl>=5.8,perl-thread>=5.8}: perl-5.8.4nb1 found
===> Required package subversion>=1.0.0: NOT found

Note that subversion-base (the correct dependency) is satisfied in the first
line, but the meta pkg subversion is eroneosly requested in the last line.
Since devel/subversion itself depends on p5-subversion we have a loop.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to install devel/subversion and watch it fork-bomb your system.
