+Summary: Break statement within a for ( ;; ) loop does not exit from the loop
+
+Description of Problem:  
+  
+In a 'for' loop with none of the optional clauses, a break statement does  
+not cause an exit from the loop. The loop continues indefinitely.  
+  
+Steps to reproduce the problem:  
+1. Run the program below:  
+  
+public class Testing 
+{ 
+	public static void Main() 
+	{ 
+		int x = 4; 
+		 
+		for ( ;; ) 
+		{ 
+			if ( x == 4 ) 
+				break; 
+		} 
+	}	 
+}  
+  
+Actual Results:  
+  
+Endless loop 
+ 
+ 
+Expected Results:  
+  
+Program terminates normally 
+ 
+  
+How often does this happen?   
+  
+Always 
+ 
+ 
+Additional Information:  
+ 
+Replacing 'for ( ;; )' with 'while (true)' does *not* exhibit any 
+problems.
