I've got a table that's acting as a timesheet, with time began and finished 
in each record. In order to do up an invoice based on that, I was making a 
total time field, which was just finish - start. It worked great for all of 
the records but two, where I had this result: 

1 -- Start: 19:45:00 -- Finish: 20:00:00 -- Total: 55:00
2 -- Start: 17:50:00 -- Finish: 18:30:00 -- Total: 80:00 

Obviously, these are erroneous values. It's not that this is always an issue 
when my hour field changes, as I've got several other records which work 
A-OK with different hours on start & finish. 

Is this a bug in MySQL 3.23.37? Could it have something to do with my OS 
(OpenBSD 2.9)? Or am I doing something wrong with the statement "update 
time_worked set total = start - finish;"? 

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
