Exactly, and it probably deserves a comment :-).

Hm, we should probably stop the queue on which the timeout happened
before acquiring the lock, this way we guarantee that nothing executes
on queues that reported a timeout until the reset actually happens.
That leaves queues on which no timeout was reported, and I wonder why
it'd be bad to let those continue executing jobs. Do you see any case
where that'd be a problem?

Oh, good catch.
