Just wondering if someone can confirm to me that infinite loops in Symposium are a bad idea. I think that if you have a script which is executed when a particular CDN is called and you also have a Route to the same CDN within the script, that would be an infinite loop.
So you have the following in the master:

4555: EXECUTE Script_A

and the following line within Script_A

ROUTE CALL 4555

What effect would this have.

(I'm sure I did this accidentally years ago and the next day Symposium was down)

its a good way of testing how powerful your server is - base on the time it stay up before locking up and dies...

my personel best is around 7 seconds, before the server locks up...

in other words, yes infinite loop is bad and it will crash.
