Perhaps someone with more wisdom than myself can tell me why this
loop occasionally freezes for some people.  I haven't been able to
observe the phenomenon myself.

for (i = seconds; i > 0; --i) {
	minutes = i / 60;
	sprintf(tempstring, "%d:%02d", minutes, (i - (minutes * 60)));
	[[restObject theRestTextField] setStringValue:tempstring];
	NXPing();
	usleep(950000);
}
