Node-RED is a single threaded Javascripting based application in node.js. Programming code in a function node such as while(1) loop will cause the single Node-RED instance not to return from flow and to suspend forever. In this case also the Node-RED web GUI will no longer be responsive and hence a code correction with a subsequent deploy wouldn't be possible.
If the flow hung up Node-RED open up the "Node-RED" service page under "Services" in the gateways control panel. Click the button "Delete flow" and the current Node-RED flow will be deleted. Now you can visit Node-REDs home at https://<gateways ip address>/netIOTStudio/ again.
Hint: The function will not delete flows of the library been saved separately using the "Export Library" option in Node-RED before.
