Uh oh.  You have it occasionally.  I have it occasionally on 3.1 and
2.2.8, too.  But I have it consistenly and _very_ often --- in fact,
it is a never-ending stream of y<x output of your test program (btw,
thank you for it - it illustrates the problem _way_ better than my
Perl hack) --- on 4.0.

Why it happens I don't know.  The only seems-to-be-relevant piece of
code that changed in comparison to 3.1 is the global removal of
p_switchtime.  calcru() in /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c uses now
switchtime instead.

Probably this:

	/usr/src/sys/sys/proc.h
	1.72 Sun Feb 28 10:53:29 1999 UTC by bde

is somehow related to the problem.
