Subject: metaruby mainloop

I am trying to use MetaRuby's MainLoop class in an application of mine and are
having some trouble with timers. I think I found a bug here:

def delay_until_next
	return delay_no_next if @queue.length == 0
	delay = @queue[0].time - Time.new
	delay = 0 if delay < 0
end

which should be:

def delay_until_next
	return delay_no_next if @queue.length == 0
	delay = @queue[0].time - Time.new
	delay = 0 if delay < 0
	return delay
end

Otherwise this function will return nil and the select in the loop later on
will hang forever (if you're not using any streams).

Have I misunderstod something or is it a bug?
