The negative timer problem happened to me today.
I checked and I also had t as the first element of the timer structure.
I'm quite positive it happened when there was an error when running
the timer function.
Is it possible there is no unwind-protect-like code around running
the timer and that's why the first element is not set t when the
timer function has an error.
