Actually, what I am doing in not an optimization, my patch does not
make any loop that is correctly infinite in the current gcc version
finite. This this fix could be applied, then the infinite loop bug
can be addressed in a different patch. I would argue that infinite
loop is a different bug I that did not address, but opinions can
differ on that.
