zach.ttyp2$ time cc t.c

real    0m0.445s
user    0m1.121s
sys     0m0.107s
zach.ttyp2$ 

What's wrong with that picture? :-)

shouldn't this always be true?

real >= user + sys.

contents of t.c:
int main(void){return 0;}

p.s. Yes, I did read the 'time' man page, and saw the note that any of
the times could be too large by 1 second...
