This means that the timers do not really work. On my system, an abort timer set at 10 sec will abort after approx. 8 seconds. It is ok to use the clock ticks value for timer polling (puts no additional stress on the system), but the ticks cannot be used as seconds. I suggest the follwing mods against the bleeding or similar, to fix the abort and status timers (for me works fine):
Thanks. Could you please re-post the complete patch attached as a file? I'm lazy.
Solar, any comments?
