  That suggests "n" is 32 bits.  Will your compiler support a larger
integer?  Or perhaps a "type counter is delta 1.0 range 0.0 .. 2.0**63;"
Anything that counts or sums must eventually overflow.  If
Real_Time.Time doesn't overflow during your program's lifespan then
it either increments less often or has more bits.
