I have
var idleScanTimer = DispatchSource.makeTimerSource()
as a class ivar. When the object is started, I have
self.idleScanTimer.schedule(deadline: .now(), repeating: Double(5.0*60))
(and it sets an event handler, that checks some times.)
When the object is stopped, it calls self.idleScanTimer.cancel().
At some point, the object containing it is deallocated, and ... sometimes, I think, not always, it crashes:

I tried changing it to an optional and having the deinit call .cancel() and set it to nil, but it still crashes.
I can't figure out how to get it deallocated in a small, standalone test program.
