Yeah, I decided to go ahead and report the bug. As to the suggestion of truncating, wouldn't that revert rt://66744

    No, this only truncates if the nanoseconds round up to 1 second (assuming it works correctly).
      Sorry, I should read the code and not make assumption. Yes you are correct, but it doesn't do what is expected.

    I submitted a patch to rt://72416 to correctly round, but I'm not sure that rounding is better than truncating. Though either is better than what it is doing now :-)
