[Interest] Interval QTimer not firing in server after running for months

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Everybody, 

My Qt server runs on machines in the cloud with Debian 'squeeze' and Qt
4.6.3.   It needs to respond to changes in its configuration settings file.
Since QFileSystemWatcher didn't work, my code just polls every 10 minutes
using QTimer.   It has been running since 10 Oct last year.  A recent config
change was not picked up by the server.  

Are there any known problems with QTimer running for months on end -
especially in that Qt version?  

Thanks! 

Tony
