However, the tricky part here is, FILETIME is + the total 100ns elapse since _1601_ (why the heck did Microsoft + choose this time?) whereas POSIX timeval gives you the + accumulated time since 1970. This leads to data overflow in + timeval struture which ACE uses internally for its + ACE_Time_Value. This also confuses ACE_OS::ctime, which, under + CE, is a home-brewed implementation, and corrupt the whole + program image. I don't know of a way to deal with this yet + except adjusting for the time difference between the two + everytime a conversion is necessary.
