20040916: Possible pqact issue in LDM?

Steven,

Before you try the LDM release-candidate, would you mind executing the
attached program on the monitoring system and sending me it's output?
It shows the resolution of the gettimeofday() function.

Thanks.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson

        if (diff < res)
            res = diff;

    (void)printf("%g\n", res);
