Guys it's got nothing to do with ICNR, as keppar explained, the software does not allow you to set a shorter interval than the exposure interval.
That's it, it's how the software is designed and last time I looked Canon were not offering their code as Open Source.

The quickest and best solution is to get a TC-80N3 or equivalent and use it with your 40D.
You may want to google for a control app for the 40D but I've yet to see one apart from Images Plus.
DSLR Focus had the feature but only supports up to 20D from memory with no further updates available.

Hope this helps.
