I haven't been rendering this boot very long.  (about 1 hr - only the insert
menu)
The Time indicator in the bottom right says 49d 16h 51m 58s.  I don't know
why.
I have paused the program alot but that is all.  Any confirmations or ideas?

After more investigation, this occurs at the beginning of the next picture
after the first unpause during an Insert menu re-render.  The time appears
to jump to 49d 17h 02m 45s +/- 5s on my machine.

It's probably no coincidence that 2^32 miliseconds is exactly 49 days, 17
hours, 2 minutes, and 47.296 seconds.

The time on my system reverts to that time -2 seconds so that once a render
has taken two seconds, the clock reads 0d 0h 0m 0s.  This is after what I
would assume is an undetected overflow.

This occurs with both VC and Intel compile.

Steps to cause error:
1.  Start POV
2.  Select Options>Other Settings>Re-render Insert Menu Bitmaps
3.  Click OK.
4.  While it is rendering, click pause then unpause.  The time in the lower
right corner will now read the above time.

Can anyone confirm?

Confirmed -- and furthermore, every time the render is paused and unpaused,
it goes farther back into "negative time".
