This was too long ago and got moved to write-only swap space, and
I haven't had time to dig into it now to recover the lost context, but
I can see a potential case where it makes a difference, which is if the
timer is set multiple times before it gets a chance to be run: with the
new code only one of the timers will actually be executed.

Indeed,
