 One correction; this machine reproduced the problem.
 I ran the test program for about two hours and got
 
 % ./a.out
 1159086053 580515 < 1159086054 580515
 1159086834 550754 < 1159086835 550754
 1159090587 291847 < 1159090588 291847
 ^C

 Possibly.
 
 However, the machines are in production and I may not be able
 to test on them until the timecounter code will be in a release.
