[Mono-dev] Timers using Linux monotonic clock not system time

[Craig McQueen]

On an embedded Linux project, we found that Mono timers are disrupted by a system time change. If system time is set forwards, then timers fire too early. If system time is set backwards, then timers don't fire when they should. We found this is known bug #3025. https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3025

So we're using the patch from that bug. But, can this patch please go into the main code? This bug seems to be a serious one as far as potential failure modes (yet hard to catch in testing because it is a corner-case), so an important one to fix.
