Quite.  There are places where NetSurf can get itself to a point where
it doesn't call Wimp_Poll for a while.  Part of this issue is the lack
of any PMT in the WIMP - it's very difficult to get something as complex
as NetSurf (where it may be fetching content, decoding content, parsing
content, laying out content, responding to GUI events etc) to behave
well like without it.  It's all a very delicate balance that's almost
impossible to get right.

It shouldn't matter - NetSurf uses its own resolver, not the OS's, although
it does read the address of the resolve from the environment when starting.
