Bzzzzt, there WAS one tiny, itty bitty bit of funny casting after all 
=) So while the Dell stuff operates "unexpectedly", it basically just 
manifested a bug in my code:

int delta = ( int ) ( timeGetTime() - last_time );

//Do some stuff that assumes that "delta" is always > 0


Everything is fine, until timeGetTime() - last_time becomes some very 
large number because, say, last_time is set to 0 (*cough*), at which 
point everything explodes because delta is < 0 and that's not something 
my code expected to ever see.

Learn something new every day =)
