New description:

 Uncaught exceptions in !TimerServices cause the service to stop running.
 Most of the time this isn't what you want to happen, and causes things
 like ticket #1035.

 We need to check for other instances where uncaught exceptions break these
 loops.

 Fixing this bug entails looking for all uses of !TimerService or
 !LoopingCall, and make sure that the function they're calling is not
 allowed to raise an exception or errback.
