Darren,

I took a quick look at the patch. I'm not certain, but it appears that
you've taken out the formula that factors in the billing increment. This
forumla, inything other than a 1 second incement, will always "add" time
to the call for any number of seconds not equally divisible by the billing
increment integer, resulting in a slightly higher cost than might be
expected at first glance. This is the way it is supposed to work.

As I said, I only glanced at it briefly. Could you describe your changes
and the error you were seeing?
