Subject: time_after - what on earth???

OK, why does this line occasionally return true:

	if ((maple_dev->interval > 0) && (jiffies >maple_dev->when))

while this one never does (no other changes made):

if  ((maple_dev->interval > 0) && (time_after(jiffies, maple_dev->when)))

Is this a gcc issue or what?
