Comment:

 Here is the patch - for the unix(es) at least - I conceeded defeat in
 getting the windows compile enviroment working on my local machines. The
 windows version will not compile until the associated changes are made in
 windows branch of the scheduler.

 The upshot of this change is that time-of-day wrapround on the o/s will
 occur before the thread delay counter wraps. That's long enough for me.
