/* Checks for the RS/6000 AIX adjtime() bug, in which if a negative
 * offset is given, the system gets messed up and never completes the
 * adjustment.  If the problem is fixed, this program will print the
 * time, sit there for 10 seconds, and exit.  If the problem isn't fixed,
 * the program will print an occasional "result=nnnnnn" (the residual
 * slew from adjtime()).
 *
 * Compile this with bsdcc and run it as root!
