In this snippet the loop exit condition will never be occur because i
will not be incremented.  Your original version had a similar error:

while
  if # when this is false
    if
      year_one = year_one+ 1 # we never get to here
    else
      year_one = year_one+ 1 # or here, so we keep looping
  end#inner if
end#outer if
end#while

I wasn't sure how much you would want to be given away, so I tried to
keep my example abstract.  :-)
