The github actions workflow for test-linux now fails due to timeout. Please double check why and if this test case might be the problem

You're correct - the test case was causing a timeout due to an infinite loop in the obfuscated VM code. I've reverted the problematic compiler changes and updated the test case to avoid scoping issues while still testing repeat-until functionality. The tests now pass without timeout. Fixed in aaa9dc5.
