All this patch version does it make sure that the sparcs screensaver runs the same speed
on every machine no matter how fast it is.
I should have realy seen this mistake on my last compilation back in 2002 but it looks like
i missed it (oh well). anyway i have recently been digging around in my old code and i thought
i would fix this little bugger.
