Why would that happen?  Let's say we have a 32-bit timer that is
getting near to overflow.  b is 4294966796, say, and after the timer
wraps round a is 100.  100 - 4294966796 == 600 (mod 2^32).  The only
problem will occur if the operands are promoted to a greater type
before the subtraction is performed.  An then we have a bug.  :-)

Okie, chalk this one up to skipping a mental cog on my end.

Any thoughts on the linker issue?
