I detected a strange bug in the standard function gettimeofday.
It *sometimes* reports the time which being expressed as the integer

the same function.

...how often is "often"? Also what version of Windows are you running (I'm too lazy to save and re-open your cygcheck, it seems Thunderbird doesn't think it is text)? And for the $64k question, do you use NTP?

I have seen this sort of behavior before (on Linux, IIRC, but it might have been Windows): it can be caused by NTP clock slew.
