One hour timeouts in Win2K?

[hurroz]

Hi all,

I'm testing a SCSI drive with Win2K and C++. At one point in the test
cycle I have a Sleep call, with a 2 second timeout. This is user-mode
code. This works fine for many cycles, but at some point (after about
four hours and 800 or so cycles), the system becomes unstable (e.g.,
explorer hangs on some windows) and the timeout starts happening at
precisely one hour intervals (I can see that in my log).

Anyone have any ideas where this one hour timeout is coming from? Is
there a secondary timer in the system that goes off every hour?

Thanks,

Hector Urroz

None that I know off. You might ask them here.
