Almost similar. There seems to be a confusion in the code
about relative(tvtohz()) and absolute(hzto()) timestamps.
It seems  that the tvtohz() conversion needs to be rechecked
for these things - grrr.  This should have been discovered

Simon, could you look at it? I'll have a look too and
pick up the kern_event.c file tonight.
Any other places that come to mind (will to a t{s,v}tohz() scan
