Subject: run-at-time and Setting system time
Date: Fri, 02 Apr 2010 12:29:42 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BB595DE.1070306@globaledgesoft.com> (raw)

Hi,
    Consider the following code:

(defun mwnn-timer-callback ()
  (message "Hi, inside mwnn-timer-callback"))

(run-at-time "60" nil 'mwnn-timer-callback)

The above code is supposed to cause mwnn-timer-callback to get invoked 
after 60 seconds. But if the system time is changed to a future date 
(say 20 seconds after the timer is started) the timer fires immediately.

Is this is a bug in the emacs code. If yes, can this be rectified?

Regards,
mwnn
