I now think there is no problem with milliseconds() in functions 
and called handlers.  It is something else.

I first noticed something weird when my UDP test stack logged 
packets received before they came in.  I now think that some 
operations on fields take negative time.  I expect to track this 
down in a week or two.  At that time I'll use a loop to accumulate 
negative time and send a UDP note to me.  I expect to find an extra 
packet received by my test software with a message explaining the 
whole thing.  I hope this will be today.  I'll forward the note to 
the list should this happen.
