If I evaluate (timer-relative-time '(17583 46528 355684) 0.5 0) on GNU/Linux
I get (17583 46528 855684).

timer-relative-time calls floor twice.  The arguments should be 0.5 and
500000.0.  You could instrument timer-relative-time with Edebug and step
through it to see where it fails.  However I suspect there is an underlying
problem with floor which is a primitive and will need to be debugged with GDB.

This may be the source of the discrepancy.
