Henrik,
  This could get messy and still might not be good enough, but try a run queue
routine in addition to the scheduled task. The busy flag sometimes stays
set for a while when the system is somewhat callable. ie: Run queue
tasks are called with the busy flag set, I think, because (again unsure)
GetNextEvent is running. If I am right, a run queue task will continue
to be called while modal windows/dialogs are up.

Is what you are doing is signaling/scheduling in an interrupt routine?
What exactly are you trying to do.
