Self-referencing resource directory causes infinite recursion and memory exhaustion

[mxngel]

A crafted PE containing a self-referencing IMAGE_RESOURCE_DIRECTORY, where resource entries point back to the root directory, causes PE-Bear to enter infinite recursion while parsing the resource tree.

This results in the UI freezing and memory usage growing continuously until the process is force-killed or system memory is exhausted.

A binary PoC is attached to reproduce the issue.

Hi @mxngel !
Thank you, that's a very good test case. It will be fixed soon.
