I think it'd be better to have that thread call try_to_freeze()
directly instead of doing this. There are some problems with
freezable_schedule() that still need to be resolved and I suspect that
it will eventually go away entirely.

It's may be sufficient to simply call try_to_freeze() at the top of
the loop, but that would need to be tested.
