don't think any changes should be made at all.I agree with this. This is just one of the few (or more) things you need to know about when dealing with PD. It even says it on the help page for [until]...
I don't think I want the software to try and second guess what I want, and if I construct an [until] that is an infinite loop, then so be it...
I agree, but it would be nice if there was a distinction between hanging a patch and hanging Pd. The user should at least have the opportunity to close the window that contains the infinitely looping [until], and keep Pd running. However, I don't think this would be possible without some architectural changes to Pd (like more extensive use of threading).
