AFAIK, the bug did not exist in earlier versions of CMake. I don't want to
delete all of CMakeFiles because it implies that _everything_ would have to
be recompiled after re-running cmakeboot.py.

Did you encounter another bug or just the one cited?

BTW, what sort of project introduces an infinite-loop bug in a subminor
release and then is incredulous that you would expect to be able to run the
tool more than once?
