The last couple of days the mh-format %(clock{date}) function is returning
non integer values. For example...
% scan -format '%(msg) %{date} %(clock{date}) ' +inbox/cron/sachiko

Also notice that %(timenow) fails the same way, and that the values do not
agree with those returned by the UNIX time(2) system call (assuming that is
what perl does), for example...
% repeat 30
do
perl -e 'print time()," "'
scan -format '%(timenow)' cur
sleep 1
done
