Comment:

 It is surprising to me that our patches to reduce time precision would
 cause a clock to move backwards, but there must be some difference in Tor
 Browser that is causing this. Can you point to a web page that
 demonstrates the problem? Otherwise it may be impossible to make the
 correct fix.
