The following reply was made to PR kern/18798; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@critter.freebsd.dk> To: netch@lucky.net Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/18798: microuptime() went backwards Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 15:20:21 +0200 Alphas are special in two ways: The CPU clock is not quartz xtal derived, but rather generated by a SAW device which has really good applications as thermometer.
