Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Branch "bug2190_the_hard_way" possible incomplete:
 {{{
   messages = pending_cb_messages;
   pending_cb_messages = smartlist_create();
   do {
 }}}
 ...
 {{{
     smartlist_clear(messages);

     messages_tmp = pending_cb_messages;
     pending_cb_messages = messages;
     messages = messages_tmp;
   } while (smartlist_len(messages));
 }}}

 Because if no one can change pending_cb_messages during do{}while() the
 the last part is equal at least to:
 {{{
     smartlist_clear(messages);

   } while (0);
 }}}
