You probably want to write freebsd-questions with this. Even if
I had a solid answer to this, I couldn't write it here. (Technical
support must go through freebsd-questions.)

man microtime(9) is worth reading, if you haven't already.

One other thing you should include in your mail to questions is
what "earlier releases" you tried with.

Hope you get it working,
Clayton
