Micros() rolling over after 59.652323 seconds, not 71 minutes [SOLVED]

fwiw, here’s how I’m dealing with micros() rollovers:

#define MICROS_ROLLOVER ((unsigned long)59652323)
static unsigned long us_delta(unsigned long old_us, unsigned long new_us)
{
    new_us -= old_us;
    if((long)new_us < 0)
        new_us += MICROS_ROLLOVER;
    return new_us;
}

So when I want the delta between old_micros and micros() I use us_delta(old_micros, micros()) and never have to worry about getting caught in a rollover (given that the time between old_micros and micros() is less than MICROS_ROLLOVER)
