In fact, what I saw was the somewhat surprising behaviour that after
running (zone-when-idle 20), (zone-when-idle 180) does not change the
idle period to 180 seconds, but leaves it as 20 seconds. On both
platforms, calling zone-leave-me-alone before (zone-when-idle 180)
results in the expected behaviour.
