Description Ed Swartz CLA 2010-08-27 15:41:00 EDT 
I was experimenting and had a need to stop and restart the TCF event loop.  I invoked "cancel_event_loop", for instance, and then tried re-running "run_event_loop".

But in events.c, the "process_events" variable is a static int, initialized to 1.  If you invoke "cancel_event_loop", this sets it to zero.  But there's no way to restore the value, thus the next time you call "run_event_loop", it exits immediately.

Should run_event_loop initialize "process_events" to 1, or should there be a new function that will restore this variable?

Fixed.
Now run_event_loop() initializes "process_events" to 1.
Thanks!
