This is a slightly different issue, but isn't there a potential problem with threadDelay? I noticed that internally threadDelay uses gettimeofday() as the absolute time source (on linux at least). Isn't there potential problem with this since wall-clock time isn't guaranteed to be monotonic increasing? On linux, I'd have thought the "right" thing to do would be to use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) although that is probably not very portable.
Good point -- I remember xmobar hanging after adjusting clock. Seems like this is the cause. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka :: http://ro-che.info/ "Don't let school get in the way of your education." - Mark Twain
