How about if you insert calls to sleep before and after the call to
message(0), to have the code pause long enough for you to see the echo
area as it's been wriiten/cleared, but short enough to prevent the
window manager from freezing?

All I want to know is (1) whether message(0) is called and clears the
echo area message, and (2) whether the TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT message gets
restored after that somehow.
