#3794: NVP::EnableEdit stuck in loop waiting for GetPause

 When pressing an unknown combination of buttons, possibly including Pause
 and Edit in quick succession I managed to get the frontend stuck in the
 while loop in EnableEdit. We enter a tight usleep loop waiting for
 NVP::GetPause() to be true, but under some condition it seems possible
 that this never happens.

 As a quick and simple fix, we could put a limit on the number of
 iterations after which EnableEdit returns false and we print an error.
 However someone with more interest or time might want to look at a proper
 fix which prevents the underlying condition from occurring.
