OK, I can analyse the situation. My current box was not totally synchronized
and I had a daemon running, that adjusted the time smoothly. After compete
synchronization the tests passes. Nevertheless, this does not solve the
Gump problem, since I know, that they have often problems with the system
time (we had last week one VM where 1 second exactly took 2 real ones). So
what can we do?
