OK, this is obviously wrong, we don't want to increase global iterations (-i).
iteration appeared in v6. In v8, the default changed to 500 and RUN_FOREVER -1
was not used any more.
The warning was on legacy version as well, IMHO code is dead and whole restart
label and iteration variable should go away. I'll send v2.
Thanks for catching my obvious error.

Kind regards,
Petr
