</div>It is very likely not having a problem with gettimeofday, it is just in a loop<br>
that happens to include gettmeofday.<br>
<br>
strace only shows the system calls, it just happens to be the only system call<br>
in the loop.<br>
<br>
while(1) {<br>
gettimeofday();<br>
do some stuff;<br>
do some other stuff and fail;<br>
