Of the three time_t interpretations... which is it? I am sure the party will be long enought to enjoy all three interpretations, but never the less... Need to calculate the different between UTC-TAI again at 1 Jan 1970... I don't recall if it was 8 seconds and 82 or 85 us... something like that. Hmm... I think I just came up with a fourth interpretation of when the time_t... need to check details. Is it wise to use such an ambiguous timing marker?
