I'm waiting until the fouler's team has the ball or there's a break in action (similar to an injury situation). I think the casebook has a situation where the table realized they should have informed the officials of the 5th foul, and they are to wait until the ball is possessed by the (should-be) disqualified player's team before immediately hitting the horn.

And I said that without even moving my lips.

That's what I thought, but wanted 'official' word. Makes sense.
