Hi mingo,
This probably all happened before you were born :-), but we changed
the other way around, exactly because we wanted to avoid the
wraparound issue.
Also:
If I want to have my timer called every second, I do
newtimeout = oldtimeout +HZ;
instead of
deltatimeout = HZ;
.
In the deltatimeout case I get to loose a jiffy every time the timer
is slightly late in executing...
Roger.
