You know .. those alarm numbers that I see are about in the
4000.something seconds range, aren't they? Well, if that's stored in a
32 bit integer, and it's microseconds that are stored, then wraparound
will occur at about 2^12 seconds (one million being about 2^20).
That's about 4 thousands seconds.

Just a thought. Maybe it's time to use a 64 bit inteer to store
timeouts?

I'll see if that makes things better all by itself.
