void DDD()
{
   HHH(DDD);
   return;
}
When HHH correctly emulates N steps of the
above DDD it cannot possibly reach its own
"return" instruction and terminate normally.

 But it *is* reachable code when DD is executed directly,

Because the directly executed code like DDD correctly
emulated by HHH1
DOES NOT HAVE THE PATHOLOGICAL SELF-REFERENCE OF
CALLING ITS OWN EMULATOR YOU NITWIT.
It is like you really really believe that sum(2,3) == 7
even though the sum of 2 + 3 == 5.
