Unbounded recursion in GetDatabase() when parsing include files [CVE-2013-2004 1/2]
GetIncludeFile() can call GetDatabase() which can call GetIncludeFile()
which can call GetDatabase() which can call GetIncludeFile() ....
eventually causing recursive stack overflow and crash.
Easily reproduced with a resource file that #includes itself.
Limit is set to a include depth of 100 files, which should be enough
for all known use cases, but could be adjusted later if necessary.
