Infinite context loop might as well trigger an infinite loop of context shifting if the model hallucinates and does not stop answering. This has the unpleasant effect that the prediction never terminates, which is the case especially on small models which tends to hallucinate. The behavior is observable when the assigned slot exceed the context size, which triggers context shifting, and can be reproduced by specifying a really small context size window.
Workarounds #1333 by removing context-shifting until it is fixed upstream.
