Marcus,

Regarding the timer - this is what I thought at first, so I removed it
from the block. It didn't help, so I removed almost everything leaving
only message input of the block. But the problem persisted.

I will try you advice with GDB and let everybody know of the result.

Best Regards,
Piotr
