As I recall, when midnight rolls around, DOS merely sets a flag indicating 
such.  The next time the clock is referenced by an application via a system 
call, the clock logic sees the flag and updates the day.  If 2 or more 
midnights occur before such a reference, you will see but a single advance
of the day.

To resolve your problem, modify your application to time-out periodically,
(less than 24 hours) and reference the clock.  Thus there will never be
any lost midnight flags.

Hope this helps.
