It turns out that these methods which contain the (currentTimeMillis > 0)
checks are probably some rather old legacy code which has over time become
obsoleted.  There is now sun bug #6967533 filed for removing them completely.

See the thread including
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2010-July/004558.html for
discussion.
