There are two (maybe more) conflicting [urn] objects: zexy, Cyclone
and maybe maxlib. In RTC-lib I solved the problem of different
behaviour regarding the time, when the urn is refilled, by writing
another one, but as a pure abstraction. I called it urne and it's
attached as well as in CVS as part of RTC-lib.

Ciao
