Node v6.3.1 introduced a change the resulted in timers running on schedule. This change duplicated the number of expired timeout callbacks to be handled / iteration.
In our tests, timers with interval 0 were registered multiple times and never deregistered.
This overwhelmed the node process, that's why it crashed.
This PR introduces a change, so that timers have to be started explicitly. This means that in tests that don't rely on them, they won't be started at all.
resolves #114
