I dug into this and found that on my own machine, <sys/time.h> is pulled
in by <arpa/inet.h> which is pulled in by config.h (if the right
configuration symbols are defined). It looks to me like there is
noplace that explicitly pulls in <time.h> before heapam.h is read.

In short, what we've got here is code that only works because of
interdependencies among system headers. Not too portable.

I added "#include <time.h>" to heapam.h, which I think will fix Oleg's
problem, but I'm a little bit mystified why we didn't find this long
ago. Someone must have removed an #include somewhere that covered up
the problem...
