A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
  Programs halts after an indeterminate number of repetitions, even though I had done nothing explicitly to cause it to halt (nor anything implicitly).

It could halt in 5, 246, 17 seconds for example. There is no obvious pattern.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run program, anddon't do anything...

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should not halt until explicitly directed to halt.
ACTUAL -
Halts unexpectedly after an indeterminate time.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
