Hi,

Thanks for reporting this bug. I have attached a patch which fixes it.

I have not applied the fix to CVS because the fix must be applied on  
both the local and remote ends. (The local end has the time we want to  
use; the remote end keeps track of the statistics.) During the 1.1.x  
development, there were some complaints when a change created  
incompatibility between 1.1.y and 1.1.z, thus I'm going to try to  
limit such changes on the stable branch.

This patch will be applied when the next development version opens.
