There's a bug in XEmacs. It ends more quickly than the
specified time in almost cases. Here's a test case that Adrian
Aichner wrote:
(defun test-timer (second)
(interactive "nSecond: ")
(let ((start (current-time)))
(run-at-time
second nil
(lambda (start second)
(let ((end (current-time)))
(message "Requested: %f, Lapsed: %f"
second
(+ (* (- (car end) (car start)) 65536)
(- (nth 1 end) (nth 1 start))
(/ (- (nth 2 end) (nth 2 start)) 1000000.0)))))
start second)))
Although I've sent a patch for itimer.el last year, it is still
neglected.
