fixed this and will commit to CVS.

funny, not sure why it's cutting you off at 100::second. it's  
currently set to allow up to 1000 seconds (>16::minutes!), and that's  
how it works with my chuck and mA. it may have been set to 100:second  
for an earlier chuck, but i'm assuming you are at the current chuck, no?

best,
