Package: incron
Version: 0.5.12-4
Severity: normal

When incron is tasked to watch something, and the program part of the incrontab entry triggers the same event being watched, incron gets stuck in an endless loop.

Example:
/mydir IN_ATTRIB chmod g+w $@/$#

Then create a file:
touch /mydir/myfile

And run chmod on it:
chmod 640 /mydir/myfile

Adding ",loopable=0" doesn't change this behavior.

Incron should generally exclude events being triggered by its childs from being considered as trigger.
