DateCalc mysteriously decides no longer to subtract but rather to add times.
I fed the following timestamps into DateCalc and asked to compute the deltas:
00:00:00:00:00:00
00:00:00:00:09:34
00:00:00:00:15:28
00:00:00:00:19:26
00:00:00:00:25:17
00:00:00:00:40:03
00:00:00:00:57:09
00:00:00:00:62:56
The result yielded:
Start: 00:00:00:00:00:00
End: 00:00:00:00:09:34
Delta: 9:34
Start: 00:00:00:00:09:34
End: 00:00:00:00:15:28
Delta: 25:2
Start: 00:00:00:00:15:28
End: 00:00:00:00:19:26
Delta: 34:54
Start: 00:00:00:00:19:26
End: 00:00:00:00:25:17
Delta: 44:43
Start: 00:00:00:00:25:17
End: 00:00:00:00:40:03
Delta: +0:0:0:0:1:5:20
Start: 00:00:00:00:40:03
End: 00:00:00:00:57:09
Delta: +0:0:0:0:1:37:12
Start: 00:00:00:00:57:09
End: 00:00:00:00:62:56
Delta: +0:0:0:0:2:0:5
Start: 00:00:00:00:62:56
End: 00:00:00:00:1:15:16
Delta: +0:0:0:0:2:18:12
Interestingly the error(?) also occurs when both arguments are below one hour.
Sincerely yours
