Mars worries whether the use of unbounded strings is incompatible with
programs that run for ever.

Not at all, or more accurately, no more or less incomaptible than any use
of the heap. You have to make sure that you don't have memory leaks in
your implementation, and that you have sufficient heap memory to avoid
fragmentatino problems, but other than that ...
