Hm. I'm not exactly sure how quitcmd() is invoked but the loop
clearly buzzes. Try doing something like
do {
fprintf( stderr, "." )
fl_check_only_forms();
} while(!qf.done);
and you'll see a string of `.' characters spew out to standard error
until the done flag is asserted true.
Running `top', at least on my system, I can see the load average
immediately go up when I run code similar to that given above. It may
not totally hog the CPU but it definitely sucks cycles.
In any case, either method works.
