My backend logfile has timestamps:

	2005-08-12 11:24:48.978 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback
	2005-08-12 11:24:48.988 adding: myth as a client (events: 0)
	2005-08-12 11:24:53.367 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback
	2005-08-12 11:24:53.372 adding: myth as a client (events: 0)

I think it depends on whether the text in question was generated using
a call to cerr/printf (no timestamp) or VERBOSE (generates a
timestamp).
