Description:
------------
microtime() is not affected after changing the system time. The bug is verified on IIS and PHP4isapi.dll. 
The only way to get right system time is to restart the IIS server.

The example shows when changing system time from 23:48:13 to 23:38:13.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
header("Content-type: text/plain");
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ", microtime()); 
print date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $sec) . "\r\n";
print date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time());
?>

Expected result:
----------------
2004-05-17 23:38:13
2004-05-17 23:38:13



Actual result:
--------------
2004-05-17 23:48:13
2004-05-17 23:38:13

There are some nasty static variables in use in our gettimeofday() implementation.

I've a feeling that the fix would be something that will only work in win98 and higher, so it might not be possible to fix in PHP 4.3.x, but be fair game for PHP 5.

Assigning to myself; I'll look at it later in the week.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

ok, so maybe it took longer than a week...
Please try next PHP 5.1 (unstable) snapshot dated after this message.
If you confirm that it is working correctly, we can look into back-porting the fix to PHP 4.3.

Tested next PHP 5.1 (unstable) snapshot and now it works correctly.
