Is there a more elegant way in Smalltalk to break an infinite loop
(for example a whileTrue condition that sometimes never realize) than
using a counter and a return when this counter is too high?
Thanks for any help

(hope you will excuse me if this is the second time this message
comes but I have problems with my newsreader)

[ true <i.e. no break condition> ]
    whileTrue: [ <code>
                         <break condition>
                                ifTrue: [ ^<return value or nil>].
                         <more code>
                        ].

If that is the case, here is a "better" way of doing it, without resorting
to anything esoteric.

[ <code>
  <break condition> ]
    whileTrue: [ <more code>].

I am sure you will agree that the second form is much more readable.
