Possible Delay problem on Win*

Folks,

I just encountered a very strange problem. Executing

  | t |
  t := Time millisecondClockValue.
  (Delay forSeconds: 10) wait.
  Time millisecondClockValue - t.

resulted in a return value of zero! The really strange thing is that this
happened on one machine but not on the other. I'm not sure if this is a
processor, OS, patch-level or Squeak problem. Therefore I'd be happy if
some of you could try the above.

Please respond only if Delay is _not_ working (else I'll have to much 
"Yes it works" emails ;-) If you respond please try to include information
about the system you are running (i.e. processor, OS, installed patches).
I assume that the above is a Windows problem but I'm not sure.

[This one is for Mark Guzdial]
Mark, it might well be that the PWS problems you had on NT3.51 were due to
the above. I'd be extremely happy if you could check this.

Andreas
