They do now, otherwise simulating termination analyzers are defined
to report that infinite loops always halt because they abort their
simulation of this infinite loop to report not halting.

Any simulated input that does not need to be aborted to prevent
its own infinite execution is an input that terminates normally.
This counts as halting.

All inputs that must be aborted terminate abnormally, thus does
not count as halting.
