Ok, that explains not only the many alarms that I got this morning, but
also the long past-due alarms when I haven't logged in to this system
(my laptop) for a few days.  In some circumstances I can understand
wanting these past-due alarms, but frankly, in general they are mostly
just a nuisance.  I still think that it would be better if it was
possible for the user to decide to only have alarms as they happen and
ignore anything overdue.
