This is a version of the loops which have repetition loops
(Do this kernel 100 times [or what ever] because this system may have a poor
clock).  To a smart optimizing compiler it says, "the result of a pass
thru this loop really isn't used, I (the compiler) will just optimize
this out....." 8^)

I will ask Jack to update this and send him the 1990 version.
