while(true) still blocks execution when using NodeVM

[paulrutter]

When using NodeVM in combination with vm.call(methodname, params), a "while(true)" statement still blocks execution. Am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?

My code:

    // sandbox properties
    var options = {
      console: 'inherit',
      sandbox: {
        "var1": var1,
        "var2": var2
      },
      require: true,
      requireExternal: false,
      requireNative: [],
      timeout: 100 // see my other issue, since this is not working
    };
    var vm = new NodeVM(options);
    var script= vm.run("module.exports = { onLoad: function(){ while(true);}}");

    vm.call(script.onLoad); // this blocks execution

Same issue... Timeout doesn't appear to be working with while(true)

Unfortunately NodeVM can't be run with timeout so while can block the process. This is a limitation of a Node.js itself and there is nothing I can do about it.
