It is not well-behaved for implementing comparison unless we first cast both operands to a wider integral type or assert that they fall in a narrower range. Choose comparison order to slightly favour future timeouts, or imminent timeouts in the same second? Patch provided "as is" without express or implied warranty. It may contain any number of intended and unintended flaws. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=993272&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
