Sorry.  I thought I knew what you meant.  :-)  A program interrupt loop is 
detected when there is a program check and the current PSW is the "same" 
as the Program New PSW.  This indicates that there is something wrong with 
Program New PSW or there's not a valid instruction at the address pointed 
to by the PNPSW.
