[rules-users] Infinite loop when re-activating rules

[Salaboy]

Hi, you can add an extra restriction in C. That checks that the rules  
property is empty in the first rule, the second, the third, the fourth  
and the fifth will check the opposite. But the fifth rule will empty  
again the rules property making the first rule fire again. I think  
that you don't need lock on active or no loop with that.
