Wait, did I miss something? Maybe I sohould have looked more carefully
but this just looked to me like a infinite loop that doesn't advance
time, which is a example of the halting problem which is famously and
provably unsolvable.
In that kind of case you can guess that the VM may have halted, as the
"watchdog" functionality that causes the popup in such cases in the
MiniAudicle does, but you can't -in the general case- be sure.
