It's up to Ethan and Hans, depending on how things are honing in on 4.2.  It sounds like Ethan wants to only get the most obvious of bugs with a few lines diff at this point.

I would like to see it considered right after 4.2 though.  In general, looking through the bug list, I can see that time data and tics is going to be an issue.  With the way time data currently works (setting the minitic to a certain value rather than a fraction of the major tic) suggests to me that minitics will have to be the basis in that case, not the other way around.

So, before revisiting time data tics, this patch should be considered.

I'll look for the misspelling "logorithm".
