The specification states that:

  4. Some substitutions (e.g., "strwrs -s a a" applied to "a") would not
     normally terminate.  To make your program more useful, it should detect
     the following such cases:
     ...
     There will be at most eight tests of this capability.
.                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

and

  9. Freeing all storage will be worth at most 5 points.  The fences (+, -, and
     /) will be worth at most 7 points.  Detecting infinite loops will be worth
     at most 6 points.
.    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(emphasis added).

Clearly "6" should have been "8".
