     Use the RTS getMonotonicTime to implement getMonotonicNSec; fixes
 #7299

     I'm not entirely sure where the segfault was coming from, but it was
     almost certainly related to there being 2 copies of the base package
     around, and the interpreted one not having its timer code initialised.
