Observe that the "raw time" line shows in its two-part form a time over
23 million microseconds, i.e., over 23 seconds, into the present second.
Also, in its one-part form it shows a value that seems to treat these
microseconds as each being 1e-8 seconds long. These displays are
inconsistent with each other, and inconsistent with the meaning of
microseconds.
What's really going on is that the STA_NANO flag is set (8192 in the
status), so the tv_usec field of the struct timeval doesn't actully
represent microseconds. It represents *nanoseconds*. The true raw time
is different from both of the values shown, and for the call made above
should have been shown as
raw time: 1490397277s 23837440ns = 1490397277.023837440
