infinite getFilterChanges loop after event.watch()

[GabrielKidane]

Expected Behavior

It should return the values emitted through the smart contract's event.

Current Behavior

Attempts to retrieve the values emitted but get's stuck in an infinite getFilterChanges loop.
Like so
eth_call eth_getFilterLogs eth_getFilterChanges eth_getFilterChanges eth_getFilterChanges eth_getFilterChanges eth_getFilterChanges

Possible Solution

I don't know but the issue has been previously fixed as you will see further down.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

It happens whenever I call an event, the event happens at the end of a contract function and the event is certainly not looped.
`Contract.deployed().then((instance) => {
var event = instance.sponsorEvent();
var _this = this;

        let wachtEvent = event.watch(function(error, result){
            if(!error){
                console.log(result);
            }
        });

});`

`function support(string name) external payable
huntOn
minimumValue
{
Sponsor storage sponsor = sponsors[msg.sender];
sponsor.name = name;
sponsor.amount = sponsor.amount.add(msg.value);
sponsorPool = sponsorPool.add(msg.value)

    //emit event
    emit sponsorEvent(name, msg.value);
}`

-->

1. Run ganache-cli
2. deploy contract
3. Call function that has the event

Context

Since using events is best practice in getting values it would be hard to create any other way around using this method. This issue had been found and fixed before (#56) but I'm afraid that it might have returned.
Another old reference to the same issue: #156.
