   It's funny. PO with his "artificial abort" would say PI went on for too   
   many symbols, no matter what radix. But how would he know if it was   
   reading from a buffer that had more symbols in it. It's finite, but PO   
   cuts it off and says its non-halting even though he cut himself off at   
   the knees before the buffer was fully read. The black box program is   
   simply outputting symbols of pi. PO says that's too many, says   
   non-halting. The program under consideration has many more symbols to   
   process, but it got aborted...
