Probably a silly question about Delay...

Thanks to a recent thread about Delay I've rewritten a portion of my code to
reuse Delay, instead of just running (Delay forMilliseconds: 300) wait every
iteration.
However, now that I've done this it doesn't work!
Essentially I've got a newProcess that loops in the background, delaying 300
milliseconds before it loops again. I've got an instance variable called
'delay' which gets initialized thusly:
delay _ Delay forMilliseconds: 300.
Later in my loop I do a:
delay wait.
However, when this happens I get a big red debug dialog telling me that the
delay was already scheduled. In fact, if I have the following lines together
I get the same error:
delay _ Delay forMilliseconds:300.
delay wait.
But, if I do this, it works fine:
(Delay forMilliseconds: 300) delay.
I'm assuming this works because the Delay that gets created gets GC'd.
Any ideas? The whole idea was to reuse the existing delay. Do I need to
unschedule the delay before I use it again?
