In the event, the Front lights timer is set to 120 secs for any pass that
reaches the timer logic.  However on the first pass, the timer gets set to
only 101 secs.  If you retrigger a sensor (which retriggers the event), the
timer is properly set to 120.
Note my second email, by moving the location of the setting of the timer, it
seems to resolve the problem though I don't know why.
