TimeTracking-Automatic extension bad time updates bug

Hi RT users,

We added the 2 extensions for TimeTracking:

RT-Extension-TimeTracking
RT-Extension-TimeTracking-Automatic

We noticed that in certain situations, the Automatic updates were in the 25 million minute range and the following error was found in the logs:

Jan 10 08:09:05 rt RT: [41644] Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at /opt/rt/local/plugins/RT-Extension-TimeTracking-Automatic/html/Callbacks/RT-Extension-TimeTracking-Automatic/Ticket/Update.html/BeforeDisplay line 7.

The following patch appears to address the problem, I posted a bug report but there was no reponse.
