Description
Loop control variable is not updated in loop body. This is #ifndef PRODUCT code.
Comments
jdk11 backport request I would like to have the fix in OpenJDK 11 as well (for better parity with 11.0.8_oracle). The patch applies cleanly.

The RFR mentioned above drew overwhelming attention. I got two votes, both in favour of deleting the dead code.

I will send out a RFR shortly. Therein, I will ask whether I should fix or delete the code.

ILW = Infinite loop in debugging code, never used but can be invoked via debugger, no workaround = LLH = P5 Since no one noticed that and the code is dead (can only be invoked via a debugger), we should consider removing it.
