Comment:

 Upgraded to 3.3.1 and still having timeout issues.  I have WP Multisite
 with about 33 subfolder sites installed.  We started having the problem
 shortly after install in September 2011 on WP 3.2.1.  Each site has a menu
 structure.  Most sites have about 10 menu items, but some have more (one
 site has approx 30).  Shortly after install, on the large menu site, they
 could no longer edit their menu, so I created 5 separate menus and stacked
 them in the sidebar using widgets.  Fast forward a couple of months and we
 can't edit any menu item.  Everything times out after exactly 3 minutes.
 Error message is as follows:
 {{{
 [Wed Jan 25 18:26:54 2012] [error] [client 66.249.67.239] Request exceeded
 the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.
 Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use
 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
 }}}

 The only thing that varies is the client IP address - there seems to be
 3-4 different ones that pop over over the course of 60+ pages of error
 logs.

 Now, we are also getting timeouts when we try to create a post.  The post
 will timeout (after 3 minutes) and it appears to fail.  But when you go
 back and view the list of posts, it's there.

 Here is copy of .htaccess pretty vanilla WP MS install version

  And here is a copy of PHP.ini which I modified to add time and memory per
 different online posts about solving this problem.

 {{{

 I don't consider my site anything that exotic - and even the one long menu
 isn't completely outrageous.  Where is WP with a fix on this?  Any
 thoughts?
