dup loop
<messaging> /d[y]oop loop/ (also "dupe loop") [FidoNet] An infinite
stream of duplicated, near-identical messages on a FidoNet echo, the only
difference being unique or mangled identification information applied by a
faulty or incorrectly configured system or network gateway, thus rendering dup
killers ineffective. If such a duplicate message eventually reaches a system
through which it has already passed (with the original identification
information), all systems passed on the way back to that system are said to be
involved in a dup loop.
