Are you sure the root of the tree is added? If not, and you don't handle this, nothing will ever be added.

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-

    Yes, the root is always created and is kind of a dummy entry.

    Goog thinking.

    To the OP: keep track of whether anything changed in the loop, otherwise it's time to abort. For example keep track of the count of items in the buffer, and if it's the same before and after the iteration, nothing has changed, and it's useless to go on.
