 Okay, so the timecounter is sane (no surprise there) but statclock
 isn't firing (no surprise there either). bde just told me about PR
 17800, which sports the same symptoms and includes a patch. Can you
 try that? It might be slightly incomplete, but it definitely sounds
 like that bug could be the culprit.
