1. Download the attached project 110863-RaycastLoopFreeze-Isolated.zip
2. Open the scene "Shop_NavMesh_Causes_Infinite_Raycast"
3. Double click on the "PatrolingAgent" game object in the Hierarchy to focus on it.
4. Press Play to start the game.

Expected result: No errors are present and the agent is moving in the scene

Reproducible in: 2022.3.64f1
Couldn’t test in: 2022.1.0a1, 6000.0.52f1, 6000.1.11f1, 6000.2.0b8, 6000.3.0a1 (Because of unresolvable compilation errors)

Reproducible on: Windows 11

Notes:

• To get the error you might have to wait for some time between 6 to 110 minutes (as told by the user)
• It is a very complex project and downgrading or upgrading breaks the project entirely
