llListenRemove and Dialogs in the Wiki

I'm updating a dialog script that I have and am trying to be good and add llListenRemove and Timers so I went to the SL wiki page on Dialog Menus (the example page) and added in those commands as it showed, and it worked alright until I hit the ignore button. After hitting the ignore button, the blue dialog box disappears like it should, then a minute later I get a message that the menu has timed out, then a minute later again, I get the same message, and it continues until I delete the object.

So figuring it was something I did, I copy and pasted the script from the wiki into a prim and get the same thing.

(from the wiki)

PHP


list colourchoices = ["-", "Red", "Green", "Yellow"];
string msg = "Please make a choice.";

key ToucherID;
integer channel_dialog;
integer listen_id;
default{
state_entry() {
channel_dialog = ( -1 * (integer)("0x"+llGetSubString((string)llGetKey(),-5,-1)) );
}

touch_start(integer total_number) {
ToucherID = llDetectedKey(0);
llDialog(ToucherID, msg,colourchoices, channel_dialog);
listen_id = llListen( channel_dialog, "", ToucherID, "";);
llSetTimerEvent(60); //HERE WE SET A TIME LIMIT
}


listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string choice) {
if (choice == "-";) {
llDialog(ToucherID, msg,colourchoices, channel_dialog);
}
else if (choice == "Red";) {
//do something
}
else if (choice == "Green";) {
//do something
}
else {
//do something else.
}
llListenRemove(listen_id);
}

timer() { //TIME’S UP!
llListenRemove(listen_id);
llWhisper(0, "Sorry. You snooze; you lose.";);
}
}
/PHP

what is wrong? does it need another llSetTimerEvent(0)?

Thanks for any help

string msg = "Please make a choice.";
 
key ToucherID;
integer channel_dialog;
integer listen_id; 
default{
  state_entry() {
    channel_dialog = ( -1 * (integer)("0x"+llGetSubString((string)llGetKey(),-5,-1)) );
  }
 
  touch_start(integer total_number) {
    ToucherID = llDetectedKey(0);
    llDialog(ToucherID, msg,colourchoices, channel_dialog);
    listen_id = llListen( channel_dialog, "", ToucherID, "");
    llSetTimerEvent(60); //HERE WE SET A TIME LIMIT
  }
 
 
  listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string choice) { 
    if (choice == "-") {
     llDialog(ToucherID, msg,colourchoices, channel_dialog); 
    }
    else if (choice == "Red") {
    //do something
    }
    else if (choice == "Green") {
    //do something
    }
    else {
    //do something else.
    }
    llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
    llListenRemove(listen_id); 
  }
 
  timer() { //TIME’S UP!
    llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
    llListenRemove(listen_id);
    llWhisper(0, "Sorry. You snooze; you lose.");
  }
}
