import procedure executes in internal loop

I have a problem with 8.5 2019-09-15 (build 85321027). In 8.4 this import used to crash when I execute it second or third time in a row without restarting the SERP executable.
I was advised to remove parameters (record RcVc RepSpec) from the import procedure. This did not help in 8.5: I have added a StopAlert and noticed the import procdure is being run in an endless loop. Any ideas why this happens?

global
updating procedure SomeImportIn()
begin
...

transaction longint tCount;
tCount=tCount+1;
StopAlert("executing SomeImportIn " & tCount);

while (TestEOF==false) begin
....
if (NextImportLine(false)) then begin end;
end;//while

end;

I can see alerts on the screen like
executing SomeImportIn 0
...
executing SomeImportIn 999
executing SomeImportIn 1000

So this means the import is being executed in an eternal loop. Why?
