  Yes - I doubt there are any real potential issues.  That said, I did change 
the pticks type from a long to a uint32, simply because that is now sent to the 
client.

  But the other issue is more that compiling spews out a fair number of 
warnings, and the basic problem is that if too many warnings are generated, 
people just ignore them, and there could be valid issues.
