Anyway: the following snipped pretty much tells it all:
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>uname -a
Linux turing 2.0.34 #1 Sun May 17 18:45:16 EEST 1998 i686 unknown
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>uptime
5:43pm up 275 days, 22:42, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.0.7-7
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>cat ../../c.c
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int i;
int timer = clock();
for (i = 1000000; i; i--);
printf("timer: %i\nclock(): %i\nCLK_TCK: %i\n"
"CLOCKS_PER_SEC: %i\n%3.2f 3.2f secs.\n",
timer, clock(), CLK_TCK, CLOCKS_PER_SEC,
(float)(clock() - timer) / (float)CLK_TCK / 10000.0,
(float)(clock() - timer) / (float)CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
return 1;
}
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>gcc ../../c.c -o ../../c
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>../../c
timer: -1
clock(): -1
CLK_TCK: 100
CLOCKS_PER_SEC: 1000000
0.00 3.2f secs.
A heuristic guess:
vherva@turing:/home/vherva/zsh-3.1.5-pws-8/Src>perl -e '$CLK_TCK = 100;
print 2**31 / $CLK_TCK / 60 / 60 / 24, "\n days"'
248.551348148148 days
248 days it quite accurately the uptime I begun having strange problems
(with zsh that begun not to echo chars I typed.) I'm uncertain whether
these problems are related, but the uptime seems quite suspicious.
Other functions may have this problem too, I haven't tried them all.
As always, I can provide additional info upon request.
