Does anyone know when is the next blue moon? :-) The blue moon comment only relates to the line the comment is on, and the workaround is still required even for modern Emacs (I tried removing it a few months ago, but every other week or so there were weird problems that could be attributed to parsing data in the wrong buffer, so I reverted my work space to the CVS version). The sit-for is there for green moon bugs. :-) Redisplay probably isn't required, just that emacs release the CPU, so sleep-for might work too, but the safest would probably be to use sit-for but reduce the delay from 1 second to 0.(0?)1 seconds or so.
