Alright, there probably aren't too many people out there running with
their clock set to pre-2000, but wouldn't this end up giving the wrong
result in those cases, as GetCurrentTimestamp() would end up returning a
negative value, which would make it less than vuntil's default of zero?
Perhaps we could change what vuntil is set to by default, but I think
it's probably better to keep things as-is; we should really be checking
for null cases explicitly in general.
Thanks,
Stephen
