Well, I've had to make it more sophisticated, since every so often the
procps library gets

     bad data in /proc/uptime

so I still have to fall back to system time, dynamically, and thus
might be vulnerable to system time changes.

I think I did. I just flushed what was on my machine to the server.
It's a develpment snapshot!

I don't think it checks times at all (it's vulnerable to getting stuck
forever).
