>only thing, we must be careful with the parentheses

Actually, it's more impportant to be careful with zeros, if you
adjust the above to the correct number of zeros, DURNSEC is 4,
which is within seven percent of the correct value.

>(btw the typedef is swapped, should be "typedef int64_t dur_t")

Yes, I'm trying to find out of people even listen to me :-)
