> Tha halting problem is solvable for linearly bounded automata.

The halting problem is also trivially solvable for languages such as
Coq and Agda: in those languages, all functions terminate.  Of course,
they may take centuries to run to completion, so knowing that they
will eventually terminate may not be nearly as useful as one might
think.
