This kind of caught my eye, is it still going to work when the next core
is twice as fast?
Actually, I added the variable right before posting, I used to have an
infinite loop there while testing the patch. I've never seen it do more
than a few rounds, so I'm not that worried.

We already have a similar loop in the channel shutdown code, but it runs
a bit longer. I might bring that over instead. Thanks for pointing it
out.
