1.7.2 BETA 9 - Fish Feeder frequently stops working

In 1.7.2 BETA 9, my fish feeders frequently stop working. (Specifically with Spider Fish, haven't tried others.) No errors are reported on the fish, but no work is being done. In SMP, the feed shows full and I have excess Fish Meal in the input slot. If I remove excess Fish Meal and put it back, it will suddenly start working again.

I mention Spider Fish, because it might be that the Feeder doesn't recover after the Mid-day "Wrong Time" for Spider Fish. At least that's my best guess.

Yeah it's probably due to the way the dawn/day/dusk/night calculation is done. This seems to mess up fish catching time too... Maybe I should just go with day/night rather than complicating it with dusk and dawn as well?

Well, it worked correctly in Beta 6 (the last version I had). And the "Wrong Time" error clears on the fish itself.

Just looks like updateCanWork() from the base class is just never getting called after the time expires. It only calls it in certain other cases.

Oh right, I'm in the middle of rewriting a few of the blocks, (well not rewriting, just reorganising them a little). So I should fix this by 'accident' in the next update anyways.
