It's not a bug in the library -- your machine is too fast. The test is, as
much as anything, a test that the clock on the machine provides monotonically
increasing values. So there's 3 possible solutions. 1) Change the test to
use >= in the time comparisons, 2) increase the number of loops between
measurements, or 3) ignore it.
