Summary: ScummVM won't quit if error() is called in a timer callback

Initial Comment:
Current SVN snapshot.

If ScummVM calls error() inside a timer callback (e.g. in some parts of Digital iMUSE), ScummVM won't quit no matter (almost) what you do. I believe this is because when OSystem_SDL::quit() deletes _timer, it has to wait for the timer class to release its mutex. And that won't happen since we're still inside the timer callback.

I'm not sure how to fix this.
