Comment (by Workshopshed):

 kawauso, thanks for reviewing the DIFF. The double minus is used
 intentionally to decrement a counter and hence stop the procedure
 recursing infinately. The count starts at 5 and decreases to zero. The
 same error message occurrs multiple times in the file so to locate which
 instance was causing the problem I added a number to the end. It was not
 my intention to include that in the diff so well spotted.

 dd32: Additional information as requested.

 Yes, the code is in a custom plugin.
 It was working ok till around November 2011 when something changed and
 some of my feeds stopped being read.
 I tracked that down to being those with a redirected feed.


 Settings:

 Safe Mode: Off

 Curl: On, Version 7.15.5

 Test Code is very simple, as all I am doing is calling fetch_feed, if you
 check what is returned you will see the error

 {{{
 $rss = fetch_feed('http://blog.makezine.com/feed/');
 }}}

 The values that end up in the particular function are

 {{{
 $theResponse - string length = 0
 $args['method'] - GET
 Curl exec error - no
 CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE - is either 301 or 302
 $r['redirection'] - 5
 }}}
