OK, so no-one's perfect.  Here's what happened.  I finished the code late
last night (*very* late!), and while reviewing it today, noticed that the
above comparison was '>' - I thought about this, and came to the conclusion;
"That *couldn't* work it should be "less-than".  I changed it, posted the
diffs, etc, and THEN realized that I had been right originally (Am I the only
one who does that?? -- I once deleted a whole block of code for a system I
was developing for a client, because it looked like total BS, only to realize
the next day, that it was actually correct.  Thank God for backups!).  Anyway,
in case you hadn't already noticed, change the above line to read;
	if (gtclk(2) > secs)
		return;

						Sorry!
