hm, is that coded as clearly and as simply as possible?  Don't think so :(

We evaluate min() each time around the loop.  Doesn't matter much here I guess.

But this is the interrupt handler, and there's a pointer chase as well as
the min() each time around the loop (I assume).  I doubt if the world will
end, but it seems a bit lazy?
