Great answer. And thanks for the patch. I am applying it.
However, I am sure there are more similar problems, so
I am not at all sure that calculating clock sums, or summing
properties that contain times, will work properly with negative
time intervals. I did not pay any attention to this when writing
those functions, and it is likely that similar problems will exist.

I admit there may not be great practical utility in a negative time
range. But the interval is well-defined so it ought to be computed
correctly. I would say that a wrong answer is worse than no answer
since it may be believed correct at first glance, when it is not.
Anyway, I'm including a patch for 6.09 which seems to fix the
problem....

Hi Chris,
what could possibly be the purpose of a negative time range? Are you
working for a secret government agency?
