Program goes 100% after 25 days - any way to set system tick to allowquicker debugging?

[David Zawislak]

I have a program which goes 100% CPU utilization after 25 days of
operation, which would be when the system tick goes negative as LONG,
even though GetTickCount returns a DWORD. I don't use GetTickCount or
any performance counters.

I use WinSock2 and the serial ports for communications, which use
WaitForSingleObject.
I also use SleepEx to pause a arbitrator thread.

So, to be able find the cause, is there any way to set what the system
tick value is since start up?

EIther use remote debugging or use cbd to debug the process.
You also can create a dump-file and debug it at your development machine.
