Not another PPC timing related problem, I hope <sigh>. I've had enough
problems with native PPC timers to last me a lifetime. To cut a long
story short, the v461 clients used the PPC timers (mainly because this
reduces overhead), but I had to switch back to using the 68k EClock in
v463 because the PowerUp (and WarpOS, but to a lesser extend) timers were
found to be inaccurate.

Ah, well, that could be a bug in the old client I guess. I'll have a
better idea once I've tried the v463 PowerUp client in MorphOS. If there
are any incompatibilities with MorphOS, I'll do my best to sort them out.
