I don;t think this patch is correct. At the least, it needs
more explanation. As far as I can see, 'timespec' is not just
about elapsed time. It really is just time, expressed as secs +
nanosecs. For example, see utimensat(2), which set file timestamps
with nanosec precision.
I took that wording from timeval.3bsd. But I think you're correct.
For the moment, I'm not applying this (and I hope not doing so
doesn't break any following patch).
That's fine. It shouldn't break anything.
Thanks,
Michael
Cheers,
Alex
