I think what the OP meant was that TIMEUSED was giving back a value
greater than the end-time STCK minus start-time STCK recorded in his
code. I would guess this might be possible in a multi-CPU environment
where more than one unit of work in the address space is running on more
than one CPU, simultaneously. (yucky phrasing) But I could be wrong
about that interpretation of his original message, of course.
