The behavior on Linux should be correct for both methods on JDK 10, 
except if you build OpenJDK with a very old gcc. The discussion on 
core-libs-dev was 8uX where different versions of gcc are used.

Once this code is updated in JDK 10 then the behavior should be 
consistent. It will also sort out the issue on OS X (which did not 
support the higher precision timestamps when originally implemented).
