Subject: test 10 breaks on alpha

Here's the patch to make it compile. I haven't tested this yet, but
I will once I can actually get a chance to sit at the console...

The clock on some alpha systems might be at 1200 Hz...
you've rather to use HZ:

and, yes... this patch works, at least on a 500au I've got
2.4.0t10 running on.
[BTW: the 500au is a Miata, hence the frequency is 1024 Hz]
