timers: add v0.4 compatibility hack

bnoordhuis · bnoordhuis · commit b221fe9b29f7 · 2012-01-30T14:12:23.000+01:00
If a timer callback throws and the user's uncaughtException handler ignores the exception, other timers that expire on the current tick should still run. If #2582 goes through, this hack should be removed. Fixes #2631.
