#107 NutGetMillis() Overflow commented wrong
José Vallet reported
NutGetMillis returns an uint32_t, and (2^32)/1000/3600/24 is about 49.71 (days). So the overflow of the amount of milliseconds since start time is maximum about 49.71 days, and not 7.9 _years_ as is suggested in the documentation.
I bring this to notice as I found this info not only in the comments of the function, but also now in the NutOS Software Manual (page 37)

Corrected the comment in timer.c in revision 2888.
Documentation is pending.
