That's the part that doesn't make sense to me.  There's no
"Makefile.dummy" mentioned in any of the other makefiles.  If I change
the name to Makefile.thisnamecantpossiblyappearinanyothermakefile, I
still get the "infinite loop" error.

When dmake includes a makefile, does it automatically see if the
makefile needs to be rebuilt?  That's the only reason I can think of
(other than a dmake bug) for Makefile.dummy to appear in a dependency
list.

I've come up with a simple test case which I'll attach to the bug
report.

I'll look at your comments about the rules more carefully when I get a
chance.  I would not be surprised if there are opportunities for
cleanup.
