Goal

a pams_get_msg on a Timer message is returning the full msg_area_len of the user buffer rather than a 24 byte timer
msg.  This causes problems when the user get is configured to receive large messages.

Customer reported this problem on Windows NT client.  The problem can be reproduced by running the x_timer.c example
and increasing the MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE in the code from 50 to a larger number like 5000.
Enable Message logging and you will see that all timer messages are 5000 bytes long, they should only be 24 bytes
long.

This problem is actually a server problem and can be reproduced with an Unix/NT Server and does not require a client
app to reproduce.
