I did not try. Here is the stub function I would have written (no need
for a distinct bytecode/native stub function, since there are less than
5 parameters.

CAMLprim value stub_myCTime(value _v_dummy){
CAMLparam1(_v_dummy);
int dummy;
dummy = Int_val(_v_dummy);
CAMLreturn( copy_double(myCTime(dummy)) );
}

The only point I think of  that you should check is: are the CAMLparam1
and CAMLreturn macros mandatory in your case?
I think that you are using a code that was generated by camlidl, am I
right? If this is the case, did you modify it?
