I've always wondered why some people use 'while(1)'  as an unconditional
loop instead of 'for(;;)'.  A 'while' loop, by definition, has a condition
(granted, the condition is always true).  A 'for' loop has an optional
condition and therefore, may be truly "unconditional".

Oh well, just $.02 from an anal retentive programmer :-)
