Ok, can someone 'splain this?

;for x in [1..100000] if (ticks_left() < 5000) suspend(10); else 
notify(player, tostr(ticks_left())); endif endfor

This will spam me until x = 100000 and it won't suspend, tho' the ticks 
are reset.  the output looks like this:
.
.
.
5035
5004
29954
29346
.
.
.
and so one until it loops back again.
Now if I do this next thing I get a totally different result:

;for x in [1..100000] if (x == 15000) suspend(10); else
notify(player, tostr(ticks_left())); endif endfor   

The output is:
spam
spam
spam
.
.
.
6032
5889
And here it suspends, allowing calls to @forked and allowing other tasks 
to run.
Then it runs out of ticks.
So the problem seems to be suspend() and ticks_left() working together, 
but what is going on here?
