usually forwarding loops are caused only by networking gear, not by hosts (although I've seen a few malicios ones...).
That't the problem with improperly deployed L2 network that it fails this way (l2 networks fail open, l3 networks fail closed), I guess /. could ask around a bit and let somebody design their hosting network so STP loops don't happen.
Especially if you're running HP gear.
I can volunteer and I've got the experience and skills to pull it off ;)
