I'm not sure to understand yours sentences. But your problem is in fact a 
problem with circular link on folders??

You have remove the circular link, isn't it??

I am not accustomed to publishing patchs and even less to publish them on 
the mailing list.  But as that made a long time that I do not have to 
publish of new version of GWhere, I'm going to make an exception. ;-)

PS: I will update the GWhere site with this patch tonight or this week-end. 



Best regards,
