You forgot to check for some tags...

<timing>
  <date>
    <day>15</day>
    <month>7</month>
  </date>
  <time>
    <hours>19</hours>
    <minutes>35</minutes>
  </time>
</timing>

... and because of that you get in loop, check for EOF, than you check for "new" tag, after that you check for "message" tag but because the next tag is "timing" the else part get executed and there you check for "sender" and because the current tag isn't "sender" tag you skip to next tag. Now the current tag is "date" and you get to the begin of the loop. You check for "new" tag and because current tag is "date" that if never get executed and you cpu run that loop again and again.

Just go trough your program step by step and see what I've explained above.

Edit:

but isn't this else case must prevent infinite loop ??

you should have an else case also for "new" tag.
