An infinite loop on large inputs is unrelated to his null-pointer problem. As SICP makes clear, the imprecision of floating-point arithmetic means this particular algorithm will not terminate for large inputs. That is, rounding errors stop it from making progress when the numbers are large and the deltas small. If a larger (or adaptive) delta were chosen, this would succeed.
