We get around that by not using RCS sub-directories (the ,v files are kept in
the same directory as the sources). Then a simple production for .c,v.c: works
fine.

We build our system from ,v files and only do checkins manually, therefore
our make system never has to do checkins (I can't help you with your
infinite loop problem).
