   This code has been fully operational   
   for three years so I know what it does.   
      
   That no one else has been able to confirm   
   that DD simulated by HHH cannot possibly   
   reach its own "return" instruction has been   
   the issue that everyone has ignored or lied   
   about for three years.   
      
   In other words you are trying to get away   
   with saying that you are an expert C programmer   
   that cannot possibly recognize a behavior pattern   
   that is isomorphic to infinite recursion.
