Not that I know of.  ISTR a couple threads about it.  My memory is
quite hazy as usual but IIRC there's a race window between arming the
timer and the command issue path actually becoming ready for timer
going off and I wouldn't be suprised if there are other race
conditions around timeout / exception handling path.  It kinda has
grown over time and I don't think anybody audited how the whole thing
fits and works together. :(

Thanks.
