I do not understand what you mean. I said I have seen the problem with
the number of timers building up for blinking cursors, but it was some
years ago.

I probably made a bug report then. Not sure now. I might just have
mentioned it here. I do not remember the details at all now. I could
not find the reason in the sources which made me suspect race
conditions (since I saw quite a few other problems of that kind.)
