Good catch. That's a bug. I didn't anticipate that a timer could change 
nodes when I wrote the timer code. (This stuff is written in Lua, by the 
way, if you'd like to have a go at fixing it yourself: 
pipmak_internal.runtimers() in Pipmak Resources/resources/defaults.lua 
(line 234 in rev. 133).)

What happens (I assume, at least - I haven't actually tried it yet) is 
that by the time the timer is re-scheduled because it returned 
something, you're already on node 4, and the 
deleting-timers-on-node-change is already past. You should be able to 
work around it by conditionalizing the return too:

   if i == 25 then pipmak.gotonode(4)
   else return 0.25 end

I'll try to come up with a proper solution. I somehow suspect that there 
might be other problems of this nature hiding in there...


Thanks for the report!
