My program runs 12 seconds but if it tries to run through midnight then
it fails because a uclock() value after midnight is less than a uclock()
value before midnight.  Here are 3 sets of uclock values from this past
weekend.

1st read of uclock = 0x00befdef
2nd read of uclock = 0x00be0001

1st read of uclock = 0x0099fc06
2nd read of uclock = 0x00990000

1st read of uclock = 0x00abfe1d
2nd read of uclock = 0x00aaffff (this one is really weird)

Is this a uclock problem or something my program somehow needs to take
care of?  All help is much appreciated.  It seems as if the lower 16
bits rollover before the top 16 bits are incremented (except in the
00aaffff case).
