[Mono-list] Bug in Environment.TickCount

[Jeffrey Stedfast]

from what I can tell reading the man page... you want to do this:

guint32 GetTickCount (void)
{
	struct tms tms;
	clock_t ticks;
	
	if ((ticks = times (&tms)) == -1)
		return 0;
	
#ifdef LINUX_KERNEL_2_6_0_OR_LATER
	ticks -= (UINT_MAX - 300) * CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
#endif

#define MSEC_PER_SEC 1000
#define CLOCKS_PER_MSEC (CLOCKS_PER_SEC / MSEC_PER_SEC)
	
	return (guint32) (ticks / CLOCKS_PER_MSEC);
}
