I just tested starting multiple phantoms at the same time and it still increments the time field, er, weirdly. [UV/aix 10.2.4 Pick flavour.] These phantoms were started at the same time from a paragraph (well, within a few milliseconds of each other) which output time() from a basic program containing milliseconds and recorded in the ActualTime column. The date and time columns are based on standard I descriptors Notice how the time field gets incremented by character position by ascii character! Basically, the mayor of WTF just comes in and wanders all over town.
