If you're running ntpdate, system time will always be close to real
time (which I think we can assume passes uniformly for the sake of
this discussion) and you'll never have the problem. QED.

So shall we require a connection to the internet (for running
ntpdate) as a prerequisite for running after-using Tcl scripts? ;-)
