mintime is declared as a positive_atom.
I don't think I ever guarantee in the docs that time()
will return a non-negative number, though it
seems to do that in all cases I've seen. I only 
talk about measuring *differences* in time() from one call to
the next. Maybe you can add 
    without type_check
to the top of lw.exu and see what happens.
You might also try a small test to see if time() advances at the
correct rate.
