I have run across this problem too. It is because with Linux 2.4.18 (and other versions??) in certain circumstances, gettimeofday() is broken and will jump backwards. See http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20020708_174.html#1. Is there any particular reason for this assert? If there is, maybe: if (msecs < 0) msecs = 0; would be more suitable. Max.
