Subject: 23.0.60; vc inflooping

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

emacs -Q
C-x C-f /tmp/foo RET
This is a test file
C-x C-s
C-x v i yes RET
C-x v v

Symptoms: find-auto-coding: Variable binding depth exceeds
max-specpdl-size

max-specpdl-size is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 1040

M-: (setq max-specpdl-size 2000)
C-x v v [in buffer foo]

Same error

M-: (setq max-specpdl-size 10000)
C-x v v [in buffer foo]
find-auto-coding: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'

max-lisp-eval-depth is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is 400

M-: (setq max-lisp-eval-depth 10000)

Emacs takes a long, long time.

C-g
M-x toggle-debug-on-quit
C-x v v [wait a couple seconds]
C-g

Bottom of *Bactrace* buffer:

  vc-rcs-checkout-model(("/tmp/foo"))
  vc-rcs-fetch-master-state("/tmp/foo")
  vc-rcs-checkout-model(("/tmp/foo"))
  vc-rcs-fetch-master-state("/tmp/foo")
  vc-rcs-checkout-model(("/tmp/foo"))
  vc-rcs-fetch-master-state("/tmp/foo")
  vc-rcs-checkout-model(("/tmp/foo"))
  apply(vc-rcs-checkout-model ("/tmp/foo"))
  vc-call-backend(RCS checkout-model ("/tmp/foo"))
  vc-checkout-model(RCS ("/tmp/foo"))
  vc-next-action(nil)
  call-interactively(vc-next-action nil nil)


So, there's an infloop happening.
