Subject: Re: Changing date backward messes up threaded sleep

I don't want to waste a lot time describing my application.  I have a 
work around and it meets my customers' needs.

Back to the timeout issue.  The interesting thing is that this problem 
does not occur in the main thread.  Earle's example at the top 
demonstrates this.  So the main thread clock acts like a stop watch and 
the spawned thread acts like a wall clock waiting for the time.  It 
seems the should both behave the same way.

Cheers,
Robert
