Not to a 1,000!  A redirect loop that long is likely to be treated as a 
denial of service attack, even if it is, ultimately the server's fault.

Before upping the limit in this specific case, you should make an 
attempt to see if it is actually making progress on each redirect, 
rather than looping.

I admit I'm surprised that gmail found a way to break even a limit of 10.
