Overflow occurred if they differ by more than a small slop.
Thanks to Clive D.W. Feather for detailed technical advice about
hosts with padding bits.
In the following code the "h" prefix means half. By range
analysis, we have:
-0.5 <= ht1 - 0.5*time1 <= 0.5
-0.5 <= ht0 - 0.5*time0 <= 0.5
-1.0 <= dht - 0.5*(time1 - time0) <= 1.0
If overflow has not occurred, we also have:
-0.5 <= hdt - 0.5*(time1 - time0) <= 0
-1.0 <= dht - hdt <= 1.5
and since dht - hdt is an integer, we also have:
-1 <= dht - hdt <= 1
or equivalently:
0 <= dht - hdt + 1 <= 2
In the above analysis, all the operators have their exact
mathematical semantics, not C semantics. However, dht - hdt +
1 is unsigned in C, so it need not be compared to zero. */

/* Repair delta overflow.
The following expression contains a second rounding,
so the result may not be the closest to the true answer.
This problem occurs only with very large differences.
It's too painful to fix this portably. */
