Public bug reported:

bwm-ng has two issues with the unix timestamp written for CSV output:
* It uses (int)time(NULL) -> With 32-bit "int" type, it has the Y-2038 problem.
* Calling "bwm-ng -o csv -F x.csv" causes bwm-ng to write 2 measurements per 
second (i.e. every 0.5 seconds), but the time stamp granularity is 1 second => 
two measurements for the same time stamp.
