The Tcl crowd often fusses over (generally subtle) errors
in the "notifier".  Search the comp.lang.tcl archives for
that keyword to identify particular releases and platforms
which have been impaired in the past.  Apart from that, yes,
it's not considered too radical for plucky individuals to
fiddle with the event loop.
