I'm not sure I fully understand how that test was done.

If you ask VMS to wait for 10 min and then ask VMS for the time
passed, I would expect VMS to say that "10 min has passed", no
matter how long those 10 min was in reallity.

Of course VMS in it self belives that 10 min has passed,
it doesn't know better, so to speak.

Or, fully possible of course, I'm just missing something here... :-)
