Until this pops up again in another 12 years . . .

This "never-expiring" timer is just being used to feed a record to GATE
to shut everything down when PIPMOD STOP is issued.  The most
straightforward replacement I see is an IMMCMD stage with a command that
can never actually be entered at the console (so it can't usurp any
other IMMCMDs or console input):

/* Impose end of stream on loop connections at PIPESERV end */
   pip01 = ,
'\ immcmd' '1d1d1d1d'x ,        /* Wait forever for untypable command */
'| append literal',                    /* Dummy record on ending      */
'| g: gate'                            /* Cut input streams           */

Naive question:  What would it take for DELAY to take advantage of
Extended-TOD-Clock to push this problem out a few millennia?
