Comment (by teor):

 I added a better explanation to #29640 in response to your comments, and
 nickm's comments:
 {{{
  * Zero time differences can happen on some machines, even after a large
  * amount of time has elapsed. Our ratchet corrects non-monotonic times
 and
  * returns a zero time difference:
  *  - on Windows (due to an OS bug that yields non-monotonic times from
 the
  *    monotonic time API),
  *  - on platforms where we emulate monotonic time using wall-clock time
  *    (after wall clock time is set to an earlier time).
 }}}
