Description Jean-Henri Duteau CLA 2009-09-24 19:52:59 EDT 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.14) Gecko/2009082707 Firefox/3.0.14 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

In MIFDataTypeUtilities.promotionExists() (line 336), there is a call to isConstraint().  In MIFDataTypeUtilities.isConstraint() (line 315), there is a call to promotionExists().  There are circumstances that cause these to call each other which causes endless recursion and eventually results in a Stack Overflow error.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I am still trying to determine how I got into the situation that causes this stack overflow.
