This is the fix for an infinite recursion when updating Distribute.
Solved by using the available setuptools/distribute for easy_installing the Distribute tgz instead of searching for it, which tries to install, which searches...

 =========
 
+Bugs fixed:
 
+- Using pre-detected setuptools version for easy_installing tgz files.  This
+  prevents a recursion error when easy_installing an upgraded "distribute"
+  tgz.  Note that setuptools did not have this recursion problem solely
+  because it was packaged as an ``.egg``, which does not have to go through
+  the easy_install step.

+Installing setuptools/distribute
+--------------------------------
+
+Some initial test setup:
+
+    >>> import sys
+    >>> import zc.buildout.easy_install
+    >>> dest = tmpdir('sample-install')
+
+Setuptools (0.6something) is packaged as an ``.egg``.  So when installing it,
+the egg is downloaded and used.  Distribute is packaged as a tarball, which
+makes an easy_install call necessary.  In older versions of buildout, the
+``_call_easy_install()`` method would call ``_get_dist()`` to get hold of the
+setuptools path for calling easy_install.  When an updated "distribute" was
+found, this would try an install again, leading to an infinite recursion.
+
+The solution is to just use the setuptools location found at import time, like
+happens with the buildout and setuptools location that is inserted in scripts'
+paths.
+
+We test this corner case by patching the ``_get_dist()`` call:
+
+    >>> def mock_get_dist(requirement, ws, always_unzip):
+    ...     raise RuntimeError("We should not get called")
+
+When installing setuptools itself, we expect the "Getting dist" message not to
+be printed.  We call ``_call_easy_install()`` directly and get an error
+because of a non-existing tarball, but that's the OK for this corner case
+test: we only want to test that ``_get_dist()`` isn't getting called:
+
+    >>> installer = zc.buildout.easy_install.Installer(
+    ...     dest=dest,
+    ...     links=[link_server],
+    ...     index=link_server+'index/',
+    ...     executable=sys.executable,
+    ...     always_unzip=True)
+    >>> installer._get_dist = mock_get_dist
+    >>> installer._call_easy_install('setuptools', None, dest, 
+    ...                              'nonexisting.tgz')
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+    ...
+    UserError: Couldn't install: nonexisting.tgz
