It stopped for me as well. If you notice the traces I sent,
you'll see:
[20024] TargetTime=1193449324, sec-to-wait=60
[20024] sleeping for 60 seconds
[20024] tick(0,19,30,11,3)
[20024] TargetTime=1193449384, sec-to-wait=60
[20024] TargetTime=1193449384, sec-to-wait=60
[20024] sleeping for 60 seconds
[20024] sleeping for 59 seconds
[20024] tick(0,19,30,11,3)
[20024] TargetTime=1193449444, sec-to-wait=60
[20024] TargetTime=1193449444, sec-to-wait=60
Even beyond that, there were other "tick()" output lines, all of
which indicated that it was 19:00 on December 30th. Each time. I
presume perhaps I had screwed something up trying to compile a new
binary, and something went awry. Another later compilation yielded a
binary that produced:
[29416] tick(56,21,25,9,5)
[29416] tick(57,21,25,9,5)
[29416] tick(58,21,25,9,5)
when run the same way. So...
I think this was an anomaly that has gone away. Sorry all.
