And I don't want to expand on it, because otherwise this thread goes completely elsewhere again and I want to keep the focus on this patch. These are two different problems, which have have only in common that it's about rounding of time.

You have a weird definition of "regression", since when is a bug fix a regression? We can discuss whether it's the correct fix and I described earlier in this thread the basic problem, which the current 2.6 behaviour fixes. I'd really prefer if we could based on that discuss a proper fix, instead of just falling back to the wrong 2.4 behaviour.
