Sorry, here's the revised commit message:

   The inline functions {ms,us,ns}2bintime() are currently defined
   incorrectly, and always result in the bt.frac being set to zero.
   Even correcting for left- vs right shifts, the results are low
   precision with at most 32 significant bits.

   Rewrite using 64-bit multiply rather than division to get proper
   results.  Also the multiply is less costly than a divide on most
   platforms.

Unfortunately, the line breaks didn't survive my 'cvs admin' command
(I tried to put them in the message using \n but that didn't work.)
