If your stream and timer are scheduled on the same runloop, they’ll never run
on different threads.
However, it’s possible for a runloop to run re-entrantly — that is, if you call
something that blocks and runs the runloop, your callback (a timer or whatever)
might get invoked inside there. So you might get a stack like
runloop —> my stream callback —> some system API —> runloop —> my timer
callback
Make sure to save the stack next time this happens.
