[Chicken-users] chicken-setup infinite loop

[underspecified]

Greetings,

Under chicken 3.4.0, I have noticed that I can make chicken-setup enter
into an infinite loop by telling it to fetch, but not install the http egg.
I posit that the cause is a circular dependency somewhere among http's
many dependencies, because eggs like rss with simpler dependencies
do not loop.

Here is an error log from MacOS X 10.5, but I have observed this behavior
under 64-bit linux as well.
