I can dig up one of those cases that loops and try it, but why do you 
propose that? (It might of course help a bit to find out where the 
problem happens and I have one case where this could indeed be 
interesting, but I am not sure if that is what you mean.)

The general problem that looping in a timer may hang Emacs is what I 
really wanted to address here.
