Summary: Page.getReferences hangs for [[Nintendo DS]]

Initial Comment: list(wikipedia.Page(wikipedia.Site('en'), 'Nintendo DS').getReferences()) seems to hang, and eventually causes a maximum recursion depth exception. The generator is created, but is never exhausted, so it never finishes when cast into a list. It looks like the offending page may be [[Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Boing! Docomodake DS]], and getReferences on that page hangs in the same way. It seems to be looping continuously in the "for zms" loop around line 1276 in wikipedia.py, almost as if the page was redirecting to itself.
