I use Linuxcnc for machine automation in my manufacturing lab,
and am bothered by the difficulty of creating "infinite loops".
I often want to have a machine sit an indefinite amount of time
until a sensor signals it is time to make the next move.  M66
lets me wait for a sensor, but requires a timeout value.  I don't
want a timeout value.

In addition to this, I would like to be able to have WHILE [1]
infinite loops, with a conditional to break out based on some
input.  Axis hangs loading a program with WHILE [1] in it,
even if I have (axis,HOLD) or (axis,STOP) at the beginning.

Anybody else wanted to do this?  Anybody find a way to?

Thanks,
-- Ralph
