Description Steven R. Shaw CLA 2003-10-29 15:49:19 EST 
Populate the edge list with an edge that has source and target node the same.

Call "visit" on DirectGraphLayout.

Result:
- Endless loop.

Expected:
- Should throw an exception instead.

Such edges have no effect on the layout currently.  The workaround is obviously 
to not contribute those edges to the graph.

Can we fix this without an exception?  So, we'll just ignore the edge.

Has there been any activity on this bug?  It would be great to get this one fixed.

Unset target milestone as the specified one is already passed.
