Summary:                    CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE with system checks
goes into  recursion and aborts
Description: 
We (MySQL) use some system checks in CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE file -
header file existence, bitness etc.

It worked fine in 2.6.1 to 2.8.2, but it broke in 2.8.3. 

It looks like cmake would go into recursion, and break with "no current
directory"  when stack is exhausted.

Steps to Reproduce: 
I attach a sample project to demonstrate the behavior.
Basically, having just "CHECK_TYPE_SIZE" macro in CMAKE_USER_MAKE_RULES_OVERRIDE
file will cause the trouble, e.g file with contents:

MESSAGE("in rules.cmake")
INCLUDE(CheckTypeSize)
CHECK_TYPE_SIZE("void *" SIZEOF_VOIDP)

Additional Information: 
http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=10902 might be the reason for breakage
