Ah, no -- I misread the timer code.  It's only computing the first
repeat length (to get us to the integral multiple), but after that, it
doesn't recompute how long it should be to the next.  So if we sleep for
103 second, then we'll fire immediately upon waking up, and then fire
every 60 seconds after that.

So to get this right, the timer machinery would have to recompute the
repeat to bring us back to the integral multiple...
