Description
In the stepper for "Intermediate Student with lambda", the program:
((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x)))
doesn't show any steps, even though this program takes infinitely many evaluation steps. The stepper appears to run forever without finding the first step.
On the other hand, the program:
((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) ((x x) (x x))))
shows infinitely many steps like it should.
(This behavior seems to be sensitive to alpha-renaming, so my guess at a cause is that the stepper is suppressing steps that yield a syntactically identical program.)
