The actual input is halting, the non-halting input is only in your dreams. There is no need to halt artificially a halting program.
Doesn't that rather depend on how long it will take to halt? After all, your user wants a report, and he might not have all day.
If it hasn't stopped after a few dozen instructions, it's probably safe to assume it won't halt. After all, it's probably not testing the Goldbach Conjecture. Most programs don't.
