Hi, Lutz!

The "ticker" example from the manual stops working after midnight under Win2k. (not tested under *nix).

Code Select Expand
(define (ticker)
 (println (date))
 (timer 'ticker 1.0)
)

It seems to work OK on MacOS X (Unix, newlisp v9.0) - I reset the system clock to 23:55 and watched it till 00:02...

(And how have you managed to reach Thursday already - I'm still struggling with Wednesday here :-))

This is fixed for Win32 in version 9.0.4.
