Thanks for the examples. See comments in
http://bugs.ntp.org/2141
for some detailed comments, but basically I think these are mostly
false positives due to get_systime() being re-entered, which is unsafe
when using statics to maintain previous-call state as these checks are
doing.
Thanks also to Hal Murray and others who have provided examples of
these warnings, which should become much rarer soon.
