I've noticed that the arrows depicting message transfers in an XPVM timeline
occasionally depict messages traveling backwards in time, i.e. being received
before they were transmitted.  Einstein would be proud, but it makes me wonder
if I can trust the timing information reported by XPVM for message transfers,
or for anything else, for that matter.  

Any comments ?
