Nice code.  After reading a grad student's barey-indented code
littered with strcpy() and strcat() (associated with a paper sent to
the LinuxPPS mailing list) overnight, it was refreshing to see
evidence of competence.  I might have used sizeof() instead of 1000,
but this code doesn't need such future-proofing.  My fingers are
crossed hoping one of those machines will end up with a very warm CPU.

Thanks for the test and testing,
