Bugs with clock()

Hi there!!!

Need your help in solving some tricky problems.

Since clock() as such is buggy on SUN OS 5 we have started using gettimeofday() in our RTOS applications based on Solaris 9.

The problems we actually encountered previously were - the applications kind of freeze/hang eternally on some Solaris hosts(Sun Fire V215). The problem is as such inconsitent both with respect to frequency & also host type.

Using gettimeofday() has solved us these inconsitent freezing problems
on various hosts(Sun-Fire-V215, SUN Blade).

So far so good :-) .

But sadly, those same old problems are recurring on Sun-Fire-V445 machines!!!

Now, the question!
Do you have any idea if we have any specific version of clock that can be used on Sun-Fire_V445?

My idea was that clock() & the patches/problems there off are basically dependant on OS version & the processor type should not really matter.

But it keeps me surprised that, using original buggy clock() works on V445.
So we need a common solution that works on all hosts.

Your help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your answers!

Please let me know if you need further information, if I was not specific anywhere.

buici-clock(1)						      General Commands Manual						    buici-clock(1)

NAME

       buici-clock - attractive X11 clock

SYNOPSIS

       buici-clock [ -geometry geometry ]

DESCRIPTION

       buici-clock  displays  an  attractive, analog, X11 clock.  Among the many digital clocks and analog clocks with peculiar display artifacts,
       buici-clock intends to stand out as a stylish, low-overhead clock.

OPTIONS

       -geometry geometry
	      This standard X11 options specifies the position and size of the clock; see X(1).

USAGE

       What's to say.  This release of buici-clock offers no customizable features.  It has a white clock face, black markers, a black border, and
       a  red  second  hand with a circular pointer.  The minute and hour hands are black and rectangular.  Some may recognize the form from Swiss
       railway clocks.

RESOURCES

       Because this program doesn't use a toolkit, it recognizes only the resources specified here.

       showSecondHand
	       Is a boolean indicating whether or not the second hand will display.  Note that in the current version  of  buici-clock,  disabling
	       the second hand does not prevent an update of the clock face every second.
