Follow-up Comment #2, bug #50673 (project octave):

Not sure what Matlab's 'datestr' function does internally; its code is fairly
complicated. But it seems to round. Compare Matlab:


>> datestr(0.00347222213167697)
ans =
12:05 AM
>> datestr(0.00347222213167697-1e-10)
ans =
12:05 AM
>> datestr(0.00347222213167697+1e-10)
ans =
12:05 AM


and Octave:


>> datestr(0.00347222213167697)
ans =  0:04 AM
>> datestr(0.00347222213167697-1e-10)
ans =  0:04 AM
>> datestr(0.00347222213167697+1e-10)
ans =  0:05 AM
