Hello,
if you evaluate the following sexp in Emacs -Q, you get an infinitive
loop:
(progn
(require 'cl)
(select-window (minibuffer-window))
(loop for win being the windows do 'nothing))
This should be fixed.
Moreover, the "CL" info manual should be clarified here:
(cl)Top > Control Structure > Loop Facility > For Clauses
For looping over "the windows", it only says:
`for VAR being the windows [of FRAME]'
This clause iterates over the windows (in the Emacs sense) of the
current frame, or of the specified FRAME.
It's not clear if/when the minibuffer window is included and in which
order the iteration is done.

By experiment, the minibuffer is not included, which is why it loops
forever if you force it to start there. Does the order matter? Anyway,
it's the order that `next-window' gives.
`loop' can probably be improved, but I suggest using `walk-windows'
(which has well-defined, flexible behaviour wrt the minibuffer)
instead and will add a note to cl.texi to this effect.
