They shouldn't stop sometimes, but always. :)

Basically, this is an SDL problem. Whenever you stop one timer, all
others are removed, too (which reminds me that I once wanted to write a
bug report...). So the solutions that come to my mind are:

1. If the timer is not needed, have it run an idle function, i.e.

void my_timer_function()
{
    if (timer_not_active)
        return;

    ...(do the real stuff)
}

2. Restart all other timers when you remove one.


I once had this problem, too. If you want it fixed, please mail the SDL
devel team (it is still on my todo list, but I don't read it
anymore...).
