H... it was trying to interpret the results from getrusage which lead
me to finding the bug. I notice that /usr/bin/time does a sysctl to get
the clock rate

To determine how stathz can vary, we'll have to dig deeper. Check out
initclock

I was just using the code from time(1). Inteesring though - heres the
output:
kern.clockrate: { hz = 100, tick = 1, tickadj = 5, profhz = 100, stathz =
100 }

So that thinks stat
