Eric restored the pivot code that we don't like to step_systime() How does the first step happen without going through there? and/or how does the first step get turned into the right size double without a pivot and/or where does that pivot happen? >From your second message: > Yes, but when we subtract from our local time, truncated to an l_fp, and 2s > complement, we end up with a delta on local time.

The question is how does the first big correction work? Your analysis covers the no-big-step case. I called that: system time is "close enough". -- These are my opinions.
