That line of code reminded me of the following thing you could do to the Commodore PET[1], one of the first computers to use Microsoft BASIC. 10 GOTO 10 RUN Oops. No way to recover without power cycling the computer. I remember Commodore brought their product to an early computer show, and all the annoying nerds (like me) kept entering that one-line program into the demo computers, much to the annoyance of the nearby sales critters. And it wasn't possible to patch that quickly, since BASIC was in ROM. They probably had a fix about 12 weeks later.
