Comment (by s7r):

 Are we sure it occurs as described on slow machines only? Because the
 machine under my control which experienced this isn't old and shouldn't be
 so slow at all.

 I have tried with Tor process off and absolutely nothing else running on
 the machine, got two times in a row:

 {{{
 util/monotonic_time:
   FAIL src/test/test_util.c:5536: assert(usecc1 OP_LE nsecc1 / 1000 + 10):
 10601698 vs 10601677
   [monotonic_time FAILED]
 }}}

 {{{
 util/monotonic_time:
   FAIL src/test/test_util.c:5536: assert(usecc1 OP_LE nsecc1 / 1000 + 10):
 7245695 vs 7245672
   [monotonic_time FAILED]
 }}}

 3rd time it reported OK without restarting the server or any process.
 After 3 minutes 4th time again fails:
 {{{
 util/monotonic_time:
   FAIL src/test/test_util.c:5534: assert(usec1 OP_LE nsec1 / 1000 +10):
 13577362 vs 13577356
   [monotonic_time FAILED]
 }}}

 {{{
 util/monotonic_time:
   FAIL src/test/test_util.c:5534: assert(usec1 OP_LE nsec1 / 1000 +10):
 7813125 vs 7813119
   [monotonic_time FAILED]
 }}}
 Before and after each failed test I've checked the date on the machine
 against a time server and it was synced exactly.

 I think we can eliminate the variant that the Tor process hangs, as
 described in
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20423#comment:21 because
 as we see it happens even when Tor isn't actually running as a process on
 the server. Tried several times on another machine running Debian but got
 OK result every time.

Comment (by teor):

 0.2.9.1-alpha:
 {{{
 - Tor now uses the operating system's monotonic timers (where
   available) for internal fine-grained timing. Previously we would
   look at the system clock, and then attempt to compensate for the
   clock running backwards. Closes ticket 18908.

 Do we have a guess what this is a 'regression' from?
