Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2003-04-30 09:29:29 EDT

The rollback goal is compared with transaction id's.

Transaction id's are 4 byte ints with the property of ordering.
There are no other guarantees on the value. In fact, there have
been mumblings about changing the contents to something else (not by me).

I'm reluctant to expose the tid value even in debugging messages
lest INSTALLTIME and INSTALLTID, which atm have identical values,
get confused in usage.

However, ctime(3) is easy, and I'm not about to tell you what to do. ;-)
