  MFC     198301
  
  In the ARP callout timer expiration function, the current time_second
  is compared against the entry expiration time value (that was set based
  on time_second) to check if the current time is larger than the set
  expiration time. Due to the +/- timer granularity value, the comparison
  returns false, causing the alternative code to be executed. The
  alternative code path freed the memory without removing that entry
  from the table list, causing a use-after-free bug.
