Overflow bug in System.Time
Frederik Eaton reports: The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.4.3.20060816
> now <- getClockTime
> addToClockTime (TimeDiff {tdYear = 0, tdMonth = 0, tdDay = 0, tdHour = 0, tdMin = 0, tdSec = 0, tdPicosec = 999999999999}) now
*** Exception: Time.toClockTime: picoseconds out of range
This is clearly a bug. Simon Marlow comments: System.Time is kind-of deprecated: the new time package is intended to supercede it, but I have been reluctant to really deprecate System.Time because it comes from Haskell98, and also because we don't have much experience with its replacement.
