Nope, that didn't do it ... When the orcallator.se started up, it
said that it was "an unecessary cast" (I s'pose cause it's inside
the sprintf())

I've been looking at it more this morning and trying to write a
"scanrate.se" script.  I've had some minor success in forcing a
call to "pvm_update(time(0))" prior to calling the vmglobal_total().

 [ pvm_update is in the live_rules.se file and seems to be the puppy
   that tracks the last-updated time ]

Unfortunately, that's not giving me consistent results across 2.5.1 & 2.6

I'll keep plugging away at this and see what I can find ...
