This man is a genius.  This gives many many gettimeofday calls, a
problem I have read about with Neverwinter Nights although never
suffered with myself.  I will check with their forums for further
enlightenment.

If you have knowledge of this problem then it's output is:
[pid 14544] <... gettimeofday resumed> {1089751702, 905165}, NULL) = 0
[pid 14544] gettimeofday({1089751702, 905592}, NULL) = 0
[pid 14544] gettimeofday({1089751702, 905633}, NULL) = 0
[pid 14546] <... nanosleep resumed> NULL) = 0
[pid 14548] <... poll resumed> [{fd=8, events=POLLRDNORM}], 1, 1) = 0
[pid 14544] gettimeofday( <unfinished ...>
[pid 14546] rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [QUIT RTMIN],  <unfinished ...>
[pid 14548] ioctl(8, FIONREADd ...>
[pid 14538] gettimeofday( <unfinished ...>

from the various created java processes.

I'll post back when I have further information as I (hope to) discover
it.
