When my read stream finishes I schedule a timer to clean up on the runloop to 
serialize access to shared resources.
However, I had a hang late last night because a mutex grabbed in the read 
stream callback handler was held and was also being grabbed when the timer it 
scheduled to clean up fired INSIDE the callback.
It was late and I didn't save the odd message in the Xcode stack crawl about 
the timer being called OUTSIDE of the runloop. And now I can't get it to repeat.

I was under the impression that timers only fired when the RunLoop was actually 
the top of the execution stack, or was called explicitly by me. Is this not 
right?


Thanks,
Jim
