Summary: time command returns negative results

Initial Comment:
This is the code:
% time {memqueue::put "Index: [incr i], message: [info 
commands]"} 10000000
-137 microseconds per iteration

Basically, I called the code memqueue::put 10 million 
times.  Memqueue::put is my own code...obviously.  The 
time command returned the negative result above of -
137 microseconds.

I'm assuming that the ticks collected were cast 
incorrectly in the C code from a signed to an unsigned 
number and when the division took place the negative 
result was produced.

Have fun, let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks,

Steve
