The TestCountdownShouldBeAbleToStop test was failing intermittently due to
a race condition in the StopTimer() implementation. Previously, the goroutine
used defer to set initilised=false, which executed after close(q) signaled
completion to StopTimer(). This allowed StopTimer() to return before the
state was properly cleaned up, causing isInitilised() checks to occasionally
see stale true values.
Fixed by explicitly calling setInitilised(false) before close(q), ensuring
the state is updated atomically before StopTimer() returns. This eliminates
the race condition and makes the test pass consistently.
Verified by running the test 30 times consecutively with no failures.
