The elapsed time calculation uses gettimeofday which is not monotonic. On devices that take a while to update their clocks, the jump from 1970 to the current date has actually happened during a firmware update and confused people.

This fixes #72. Monotonic time isn't available on all platforms, but the
most important cases are the embedded Linux ones w/o real-time clocks.
Those seem to get their clocks updated in the middle of firmware
updates.
