SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * You call the MsgWaitForMultipleObjects function that includes the dwMilliseconds parameter.
 * The sum of the current value of the system count of 1-millisecond intervals (tick count) and the value of the dwMilliseconds parameter wraps past the maximum DWORD value.

In this scenario, in Microsoft Windows CE 3.0, the MsgWaitForMultipleObjects function immediately returns with a return value of WAIT_TIMEOUT (258) even though the specified time-out interval did not elapse.
