Hi John --

Perhaps you can explain what timer_mode==1 does then?  (E.g.
how it differs from timer_mode==0 and timer_mode==2)  I've
never quite understood it and an attempt to document timer_mode
that I posted several months ago left timer_mode==1 rather
vague.

Other than being nice for Solaris (and Windows?), could you defend
a default of timer_mode==1?

Thanks,
Dan
