Hi Stefan,

I think it is OK.
Moreover, I consulted that idea with Slawomir Laba - the author of that loop.
It seems adding a timeout needs a further investigation. Slawomir claims
that adding that timeout may cause some side effects in other corner cases,
so for now let's leave your patch as it is.
Thank you for fixing it!

Thanks,
Michal
