   int D()   
   {   
      int Halt_Status = H(D);   
      if (Halt_Status)   
        HERE: goto HERE;   
      return Halt_Status;   
   }   
      
   The function H is a simulating termination analyzer:   
      
   (a) Detects a non-terminating behavior pattern:   
        abort simulation and return 0.   
   (b) Simulated input reaches its simulated   
        "return" statement: return 1.   
      
   when given a function P, it literally simulates   
   each step of executing P() to see whether that   
   simulated execution ever reaches a return statement.   
      
   Now let H simulate D. Based only on the outcome of   
   that literal simulation (not on reasoning about what   
   should happen), what result should H(D) produce?
