#173803 - non-functional code
Responding to: ???'s previous message
alarm = T2L + ticks;
while (T2L != alarm) ;


non-functional code, what if an interrupt happens. If so, T2L can be == alarm many times before you detect it.

DO NOT respond with "disable interrupts" that would be an even greater disaster
