I'm having trouble with the rawclock() function. According to the docs
it should return the number of tics since midnight. That should make a
pretty good function for srandom(), I thought. But the following code:

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main ()
{
	int n;

	for (n=0;n<10;n++)
		printf("%D\n", rawclock () );
};

printed something like
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
1
1
everytime I ran it. That's close to midnight!

Is this a bug in libc? in the docs? or haven't i got a clue?
