Is there any easy way to stop timer 1 in PWM mode, with the output pin 
high?

I'm using OC1B to generate an output with 100% - 0% duty cycle.

I realize that I could turn off PWM mode entirely, returning the pin to 
a straight I/O.

I could make the turn-off conditional on getting a 0 on the pin 
register, but I'm a little creeped out by that, as it might not always 
dependably read a 1 or 0


What I'm trying to avoid is adding two more states, as "starting up" 
and "shutting down" to my existing "running" and "not running".
