So the PIT is goin crazy after about 3weeks of
running???  If that is so, then why is the Linux
time correct, while the dosemu one goes BAD,
since with the timemode patch, dosemu is reading
the linux time directly???  Next time that happens,
I will have the customer exit the application and
from DOS prompt do a date command, see what it shows?
