I didn't mean to offend you.
We discuss your code because you mentioned it as an application for
further enhancements of interrupt feature.
My point is that you misuse the interrupt feature (and depend on
undocumented implementation details). It is originally meant for
immediate termination of stream processing, and that is the only thing
it is guaranteed to do well. Although it is not worded anywhere in
documentation; If i am wrong here, let more experienced developers
correct me.
