Something appears to be wrong with the infinite loop protection today.

Description
I keep seeing the loading sign instead of the error, but not every time. I know there should be an error by studying the code, but also because sometimes it does show up..
Here https://www.khanacademy.org/computer-programming/pong/6693420993740800 is an example where the user wrote the equivalent of
```
while true:
render
```
instead of using a draw loop. It's still not throwing the error as I write this so I took a screen shoot.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the linked Pong example with an equivalent `while true` loop containing `render`, then trace the live editor's infinite-loop protection and loading state. Done means the expected error appears reliably instead of the loading sign, including for the reported example.
