HELP! all,

  I ran NetBSD-current on sparc IPX, compiled from sources dated 8 Apr,
and sometimes have got garbage in field `ru_utime.tv_sec', after call to
`getrusage'.

  This two simple function I used to set initial time counters `MS_clock_init',
and to receive current time in miliseconds `MS_clock'.
void
MS_clock_init ()
{
  if (getrusage (RUSAGE_SELF, &rusage0))
    {
      strout ("getrusage error\n", -1);
      abort ();
    }
}

long
MS_clock ()
{
  if (getrusage (RUSAGE_SELF, &rusage))
    {
      strout ("getrusage error\n", -1);
      abort ();
    }

  return((long)((rusage.ru_utime.tv_sec  - rusage0.ru_utime.tv_sec) * 1000 +
		(rusage.ru_utime.tv_usec - rusage0.ru_utime.tv_usec) / 1000));
}
===============================================================================

At line 757 variable `gc_start_time' must contain garbage collection time,
but istead I received strange value with probability ~1/321. :)

755     
756       gc_start_time = MS_clock () - gc_start_time;
757       gc_time += gc_start_time;
758
