SysTicksPerSecond in main event loop

[Stefan Lange-Hegermann]

Hi!
I have the following siple event loop:
UInt32 eventWait;
eventWait=SysTicksPerSecond*8;
do {
                UInt16 MenuError;
                EvtGetEvent(&event, eventWait);
                if (! SysHandleEvent(&event))
                  if (! MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &MenuError))
                    if (! AppHandleEvent(&event))
                                                FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
            } while (event.eType != appStopEvent);
Only my old IIIxe waits 8 seconds, my Cli� TJ-37 fires a nilEvent 
almost exactly every one second. Where does that event come from? Any 
Ideas?

Stefan
