MS> calcru: negative time of -71345076 usec for pid 23891 (make) Since I haven't seen an explanatory answer to this, let me throw in a guess (so there is at lest a try for an answer) ... Is the process in fact alive a looong time, rather than very short? Then the problem might be either that calcru (which, by the way, I don't know a thing about) casts a time_t (which is a long, according to ) to an int, hence overflow, which might leed to underflow when using signed. Or it might be that the long (which is signed) overflows itself, but that would be an incredibly long time ... // Rasmus Kaj -- kaj@cityonline.se --------------- Rasmus Kaj - http://www.e.kth.se/~kaj/ \ CityOnLine IB Production AB - http://www.CityOnLine.se/ \----------------- You can't grep a window - Use a Unix!
