- Ê ÊRN: We used to use nil as the untilDate in previous versions since nil
-Ê  Êis a shorter and more concise way of specifying an infinite amount of
-ÊÊ Êtime than [NSDate distantPast]. ÊHowever, Apple neglects to mention in
-Ê  Êtheir documentation that nil is not handled correctly in OSX 10.2
-Ê  Ê(and possibly lower) and when the call is reached the system comes to
-Ê  Êa screeching halt, therefore we need to specify [NSDate distantPast]
-Ê  Êexplicitly so that wxCocoa will work correctly in OSX 10.2.
+    This overridden method calls the superclass method with an untilDate
+    parameter that indicates nil should be returned if there are no pending
+    events.  That is, nextEventMatchingMask: should not wait for an event.
+    If nil is returned then idle event processing occurs until the user
+    does not request anymore idle events or until a real event comes through.
+
+    RN: Even though Apple documentation states that nil can be passed in place 
+    of [NSDate distantPast] in the untilDate parameter, this causes Jaguar (10.2)
+    to get stuck in some kind of loop deep within nextEventMatchingMask:, thus we 
+    need to explicitly pass [NSDate distantPast] instead.
