Comment (by igaztanaga):

 Those methods don't help much to get a real timestamp that won't change
 with clock changes, hibernations, etc.

 Finding a method to obtain a bootstamp (using kernel internals or WMI) in
 windows so that shared memory, queues, etc are erased when rebooting a
 machine have brought more problems than solutions.

 I will disable bootstamp in new versions. POSIX allows shared memory to
 survive a reboot and that's what we'll have in Windows until someone finds
 a better method.
