This put me onto the simplest solution (for my setup), simply add extra
records to the virtual file so it now becomes:-

tom tomcharlie
tomcharlie.domain.tld tomcharlie.domain.tld
dick tom,dickcharlie
dickcharlie.domain.tld dickcharlie.domain.tld

and I am back to the orginal behaviour. Since my virtual table is made
by a script doing a global update is trivial.

I seems that pre V2 dickcharlie on the RHS terminated the recursion,
post V2 is didn't so another search was done for dickcharlie.domain.tld
which was expanded again (eventually) - at least that's what it looks
like from the MySQL logs.

Thanks to Victor and Wietze for the guidance
