Footkerchief, not sure how you want to handle this. I'm leaning towards "not a bug", but you seem to have a different opinion http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=32978.msg481379#msg481379. [^] If you don't mind, I'll leave it to you.

Yeah, I'm not really sure either way. I'll leave it for Toady to evaluate.

Why it is supposed to be a bug? It is called Droste effect ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droste_effect [^] )

Recursion! Self-reference! Infinite regress!

For what it's worth, this might not even be recursion. The image on the item might be, for example, a simplified version of the item itself (not including said image), a schematic, or any number of things.
