1For these tests, the date returned by clock_gettime() will be compared
2with that returned by the gettimeofday() function.

4Assumptions:
5- Machines running these test cases also have access to the gettimeofday
6  function.
7- Ideally, the gettimeofday() function has different internals than
8  clock_gettime().  [Hopefully, clock_gettime() doesn't just _call_
9  gettimeofday(), for instance.]
10  However, even if not, it's still a valid test to make sure clock_gettime()
11  doesn't have an error somewhere else.

14It turns out these two functions _should_ return the same value but do
15have different internals, so this is a good test case.

19Another note:  At one point, I considered using ntpd to do date checking.
20That idea ended up getting thrown out, but one thing I want to document is
21that, if I did chose that idea, the tester would need to install RPMs:
22  ntp
23  libcap
24for it to run.
