Well, I can see how it could go negative, but if that happens, we have a
bigger problem. tv_sec on my system is an unsigned int, so I think the
value will show as huge rather than negative. If you want negative
values, I think you are going to need to use a real signed integer.
Would you send a context diff (diff -c) against CVS with a fix?
