these values are completely wrong (may be not set up yet,
you cannot rely on line numbers in optimized code)

time on your system now should be around

1635500000

current / 1000000 is

193277

which is 1970-01-03 05:41:17

os_now is far in the future.

you need to debug this further, all sorts of things may be wrong here.

i'd remove all other tests from the test exe and break on gettimeofday
and time and see what the libc returns, also print the time in the test.
