Not true; Smaug demonstrates how it's possible to use the alarm signal to break out of potentially infinitely-long operations. Generally though, your infinite loops are only gonna be in scripts, and it should be easy enough to implement a way to monitor scripts and ensure they complete within a specified period of time.
