I suspect you weren't sucking it in twice, but an infinite number of times, so 
you got "out of file descriptors" when the poor old shell got up to a few 
thousand copies!

i.e. system scripts source /etc/default/rc.conf
	which does it's stuff and sources /etc/rc.conf
		which is the same script, 
		so it does it's stuff and sources /etc/rc.conf
			which is the same script, 
			so it does it's stuff and sources /etc/rc.conf

etc.
