   And if that's acceptable behavior, I have a new version of
   del_timer() that's very small and fast ;->.

How do you accomplish this and still respect the environment of the
timer function itself, ie. that the timer is not scheduled and outside
of self-inflicted locking issues the timer function may add it's timer.

Does your solution involve holding the timer list lock during
the timer function invocation?  If so, wait for troubles...
