The timers used in Effect::animate() count down, not up, so the code
should be correct.

I cannot reproduce your problem. I just tried running

rve -f 25 512 288 0 hscroll_text "`perl -e 'print "$_ " for (1 .. 600)'`"

And it works fine. Please send an exact command line I can reproduce the
problem with.
