It does, but there's one additional factor that was supposed to
prevent such problems: the first thing timer_check does is copy
Vtimer_list to a local variable; then it works on that copy. So
whatever happens in the meantime to Vtimer_list should not have
affected concat, because concat is called on a copy.
Which part of this doesn't work, and why?
