Ok, will do if it happens again. I don't know what triggers it, because
it happens only occasionally.

The strange thing is it would be a logical explanation that emacs substracts
the new time from the timer and it makes it go negative (though I haven't 
checked how it is implemented), but usually only one of the timers go 
negative, not all of them, so the bug does not affect all timers when it 
happens.
