Mapping out Web-space is harder than you think.
Not all infinite link chains are loops. For example,
I have a WWW server that uses links to set search parameters,
so infinite sequences like the following are possible:

Change maximum matches from 5 to: 2[1], 15[2], 30[3]
...
Change maximum matches from 30 to: 5[1], 15[2], 40[3], 80[4]
...
Change maximum matches from 80 to: 5[1], 40[2], 90[3], 180[4]
...
Change maximum matches from 180 to: 5[1], 90[2], 190[3], 380[4]
