wtf? so 10 years after posix-2001 was standardized (and clock_gettime was
around before that) osx still hasnt caught up? wonderfully primitive OS you
have there :) seriously that clock_gettime is relatively important. things
happen to work for you by luck and not by design, as gustavo said - change
clock config/timezone and such.. and things will stuff up without a monotonic
clock. it's warning you of a serious deficiency in your OS that leads to other
bugs.
