My guess is that what's happening is that when 0.88 was fed a zero it
accepted it, rather than bumping it up. That would basically cause
the idle loop to go as fast as its little legs could carry it.
I see no notation in the Changes file and I haven't had 0.88 kicking
around here for years so I really can only speculate. Probably only
TC knows.
I suppose the next thing to try is to change fl_set_idle_delta() to
accept zero as a valid delta. I don't think that should break
anything. Give it a try.
Since this behavior is not documented, I'd be inclined to consider it
a bug rather than a feature. I can't imagine how it could be a
configuration problem.
