       private pointcut scope() :
                       if(condition())
                       //&& !(execution(* *.condition())) <- uncomment and infinite loop disappears
                       && !cflow(execution(* *.condition()));

       public static boolean condition(){
               return (Math.random()<2); //always true
       }
       before(): profile() && scope() {
               System.out.println("Entering method "+thisJoinPointStaticPart.getSignature());
       }
}

package test;
public class Main {

       private static int plus(int first, int second){
               return first + second;
       }
       public static void main(String[] args) {
               int num = plus(42,13);
               System.out.println(num);
       }
}

this loops infinitely unless the commented out section is uncommented.
