Comment:

 I originally created TIM_mono() for exactly that purpose, but have since
 realized that varnish is so royally screwed that there is no beginning or
 end, if the clock is changed in any significant way, because most cache
 content is handled on an absolute UTC timescale.

 If anything, I think we need to restart the worker thread if we detect a
 time-step, because we may have to resort our hash, and the code complexity
 for that is certainly not warranted, just for people who cannot get
 /etc/ntp.conf right.

 So I think the answer is "thanks, but no thanks", this is a problem that
 needs to be solved outside Varnish.
