It might be intended to only interpolate between seconds, but if the
true CPU cycle counter frequency is significantly faster than the
value calculated during the most recent calibration interval, then
cc_microtime()'s calculation of

	t.tv_usec += (cc / (ci->ci_cc_denom / ci->ci_cc_ms_delta));

could cause the value of t to advance beyond the value that will be
assumed by the next call to cc_microset(), and this could cause time to
appear to go backwards.
