[Dev] Chandler 0.6 - infinite zoom rectangles

[Bryan Stearns]

Reid,

I'm assuming the zoomrects are coming from some fault in the reminder 
dialog mechanism... the dialog is put up when a timer fires and the 
handler thinks there are reminders to present, and the box is taken down 
when it thinks there aren't any reminders left; while the box is up, the 
timer is set to fire as necessary to update the messages in the list ("5 
minutes", "4 minutes"...). A disagreement here could cause the box to be 
put up and taken down immediately, over and over, and that's probably 
what you're seeing.

It'd be interesting to know if this happened after Chandler had been 
running for a while, or whether this happened immediately upon starting 
Chandler.

(In any case, feel free to assign the bug to me. Also, I don't know 
about backing-up from the command line...)
