I'll attempt a simple fix for the KillThread case by replacing :

with a simple loop
do {

where the TimerTask runnable will clear the flag
with "waiting = false " once it has been launched.
I don't think this will guarantee that the timer thread will have
terminated before the main thread schedules the second event. I think
this test would be robust if you capture a reference to the timer thread
in the first task and have the main thread wait or poll until it has a
reference to the thread. Once it has a reference to the thread then it
can wait for it to terminate before attempting to schedule the second task.
