This has been stated on the list ad nauseum but one way to get around any
problems due to idle handlers is to avoid using them at all; use "send
in..." instead.  In my experience, I have yet to encounter any idle script
that can't be rewritten using "send in...".

  on idle
    doMyStuff
  end idle

becomes...

  on myOwnIdler
    doMyStuff
    send "myOwnIdler" to me in 50 milliseconds
  end myOwnIdler
