---- modified GetTime() checking return value of gettimeofday() -----

LL GetTime (void)
{
  struct timeval tv;
  LL retval;
  int rc;

  while (0 != (rc = gettimeofday (&tv, NULL)))
    printf ("Wow! gettimeofday () returned %d\n", rc);

  retval = (tv.tv_sec * 1000000) + (tv.tv_usec);
  return retval;
