Once you submit a timer request to the timer.device, the time fields of the
request are "owned" by the timer.device and are not guarenteed to contain any-
thing useful. In fact, the 1.1 and 1.3 autodocs specify that the tr_time field
will contain junk when TR_ADDREQUEST returns the message.

Fixing-up the time field on an AbortIO could probably be done but that sounds
like an enhancement request :-)
