Error description

• TLOG#54349
  
  Querying for module.object.column and then attributes sends RPE
  into what it looks to be an infinite loop.
  
  1. Make a query for module.object ($1)
  2. For each of the above objects make a query for the objects
  columns ($2 in the context of $1)
  3. For each of the above columns make a query for the objects
  attributes ($3 in the context of $1)
  

Local fix

• What should have ideally done is:
  
  1. Make a query for module.object ($1)
  2. For each of the above objects make a query for the objects
  columns ($2 in the context of $1)
  3. For each of the above objects make a query for the objects
  attributes ($2 in the context of $1)
  

Problem summary

• Certain RPE template constructs will cause an infinite loop
  while publishing documents. Issue fixed.
