"Edit files" dialog hangs forever when filesystem is recursive

I have the following filesystem layout:

project_root
   |-src/
   |-test/
         |-test_resources/
                  |-simple_dir/
                  |-recursive_dir/
                           |-root_link/ [symlink to /]
                           |-recursive_link/ [symlink to project_root]

When I select "Edit files" from the project menu, the dialog hangs without ever populating. I know that it's the recursive symlinks which are the problem because when I delete `recursive_dir` then the dialog loads just fine.
