Found the best little tip for workflow creation in MSCRM 4.0. See there is a loop detection in the system which detects if the same workflow rule is called 8 times and if it is, stops the workflow from running with the message: "This workflow job was canceled because the workflow that started it included an infinite loop".
This happens even where there is no infinite loop (i.e. when you have catered for it). Well until today when I stumbled across a post on the news groups which clarifies that it is only 7 times per hour. If you stay under that, so once per day or once per year it won't fail.
