So that's why I'm creating the iterator outside of the while loop in
the original code, and then using a repeated for loop with a break
to step through all the events only once. Of course, the fact that
5 isn't in there probably points to the source of my problems! The
solution might be assigning iterlist.next() to a variable, and
advancing the variable.
In that case wouldn't it be simpler to just use the index and
manually control its value? Iterators are wonderful things but
when I have to start bending things too far from vanilla I tend
to go back to first principles.
