  I had made the same change on the vax, and only saw the message when the
32 bit counter wraps, which is expected.  It also seemed to keep time 
fairly well.  I then started looking at the KA46 [4000/60] diagnostic 
counter and got sidetracked on that.  It looks like the 4000/VLC has the 
same counter, but I couldn't figure it out well enough to make it work 
properly.  I wanted to check the 4000/60, but haven't gotten around to 
getting one connected up yet.  Then I had some problems on a couple of API 
CS20 machines and got sidetracked even further, trying to debug 
timecounter problems on them, followed by debugging the SMP problems as 
well.
