Because I could not reproduce the bug concerning gettimeofday out of a complex program where it is used. Probably it works correctly. But then I would like to know why comparison of two floating-point numbers leads to different results: t0 is *exactly* the same as t1, nevertheless the condition t0 > t1 is true (sometimes).
