When we assume that:
(a) HHH is an x86 emulator that is in the same memory space as DDD.
(b) HHH emulates DDD according to the semantics of the x86 language.

 That means that HHH is stuck in a recursive simulation and does
not return. As x86 does not support an infinite memory space the
excution soon crashes in memory overflow.
Because HHH does not return the execution of DDD and consequently
the emulation of such execution is not continued after the call.
Therefore,
 

then we can see that DDD emulated by HHH cannot possibly get past
its own machine address 0000217a.
