   False.  We would resume the simulation of Infinite_Loop at the same   
   machine state (which doesn't include the simulator) and the resumption   
   would not halt.   
      
   In contract, we can resume the simulation of DD at the same machine   
   state (which again doesn't include the the simulator) and the resumption   
   has been shown to halt.
