Re: [reSIProcate] Timers: why system time?

Hi

Also one additional thing to concern:
If you use StackThread you will never face the bug - Timer::getTimeMs()
is called at least every 25 ms.

To qualify things further, though: in order for this bug to be 
triggered, you would need to have no calls to "Timer::getTimeMs()" for 
over two minutes (131.07 seconds, to be more precise) as the 49.7-day 
boundary rolls around. In a normally operating SIP stack, the chances of

this happening seem vanishingly small.

So, it's a corner case on top of a corner case. And it only happens on 
WIN32 systems.
