Comment (by braumann@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 ccorn@…]:
 > The cause is in {{{glib/gmain.c}}} in function
 {{{g_get_monotonic_time()}}}. ...

 Meanwhile a substantial debate on this issue has been started upstream:
 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728123
 As it appears, the problem not only occurs for PowerPC processors, but
 also for ARMs. Moreover, it is being speculated that the problem
 (mach_timebase_info_data_t should be capable to also carry non-1/1
 numerator/denominator ratios, such as 1000000000/33329426) might affect
 future Intel Macs.

 https://bug728123.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=274897
 proposes a reasonable patch for glib/gmain.c, but still the glib2
 developer seem to hesitate to adopt it.
