This specifies two requirements:
1. H correctly simulates that part of the behaviour of D that starts
from the start of the execution and does not end before the second
requirement is satisfied.
2. H correctly determines that unsimulated part of the behaviour is
infinitely long.

The second reuirement is not satisfied when HHH analyses the above
DD.
