Argh.  That's wrong.  It works across the epoch boundary.  The requirement is 
"close-enough", but you have to stand on your head to recognize that the the 
boundary crossing can be close.

I'll have to think hard about the boundary case.  I think the subtract 
overflows but it gets the right answer.
