Well, if as the OP indicates, he expects the program to respond to an event
when it is in an infinite loop he is likely to be left sitting at a
nonresponsive screen, keyboard and mouse. Unless that is he has taken care
to check for events each time around the loop or has a multithreaded
application which will break the loop etc. And the context of the original
post would suggest that s/he doesn't realize the requirements to prevent
this from happening.
