But, even with your "fix" to the problem, the code doesn't really make sense. You're saying "as long as this random value is equal to itself". and I don't see why you'd want to do that. If an infinite loop is what you're striving for, then code it as an infinite loop. Don't code it as checking an uninitialized value against itself... that's very confusing.

It appears that the original programmer is using it to do infinite loop.
As you and others have mentioned, it's a strange way to do infinite
loop.
