It is not very interesting to know whether a simulator reports that it 
is unable to reach the end of the simulation of a program that halts in 
direct execution.
It is interesting to know:
'Is there an algorithm that can determine for all possible inputs 
whether the input specifies a program that (according to the semantics 
of the machine language) halts when directly executed?'
This question seems undecidable for Olcott.
