That it had been running for over 25 days.

I'd actually tried to run it several times prior to that last run, mostly
using the latest version available at the time and sometimes inserting
print statements to try to narrow down what I incorrectly thought was an
infinite loop. I may not have updated immediately prior to my last test
run.

Perhaps it could be removed from the 1.0.x branch and a placeholder README
left in its place?

OK. Thanks for your reply. I've set it running now and I'll see how far it
has got after a few days.
