[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] gettimeofday() can go backwards

[Jonas Jensen]

On my IBM Thinkpad, gettimeofday() sometimes goes backwards, making
mplayer's status display go crazy. This one-liner patch workarounds this
in the GetRelativeTime() function for Linux by simply ensuring that the
returned value will always be at least zero.

I have not implemented the fix for other platforms because I don't know
whether it is actually a problem there. Perhaps it is already worked
around in the kernel code on some platforms.
