Forever ?

There is a BIS set limit on how many-time a while loop will run, I believe it is 10,000 times.

Meaning in the example below forever is really only 13hrs. 10000*5/60*60. _forever=true; while {( forever)} do { // do something sleep 5; }; BarmyArmyBarmyArmy

the awfulness of this inconsistent language syntax means:

while {forever} do // will fail without the otherwise meaningless ()'s
