You can change the line

  if (active && startTime <= t && t < stopTime) {

in the above patch to

  if (!recording && active && startTime <= t && t < stopTime) {

in order to avoid excessive data in the log file. That way it
only logs the first set of data, which is the one that interrest me.

Anybody else who ever experienced a timer not starting at the expected
time or being executed at a completely wrong time should please also apply
this patch and send me the log data if that happens.
