If a DFN entry uses GET to refer to itself, it crashes the server by doing an infinite loop-o-matic.

No errors logged.

Not that I'd ever cause something like that to happen.. <cough>

sample file:
(test.dfn)

[bunny]
{
GET=bunny
NAME=a fluffy bunny
STR=15
DEX=25
INT=5
HPMAX=9
DAMAGE=2 5
TOPROV=59
TOPEACE=59 5
RACE=9
}

load dfns, add npc bunny, click to place, CRASH.

Relatively simple fix, I'll put it up in my next commit

Tested, and verified fixed in 0.98-4.0.
Console gives the following warning message when spawning the NPC, and no crash occurs:

WARNING: Infinite loop avoided with GET tag inside character script BUNNY
