Sample output

? printf "Elapsed time = %g seconds\n", tt
Elapsed time = 2971.66 seconds
Here everything is OK.
Now
? set stopwatch
? vvv150 = rounds(40,50000,150)
Generated matrix vvv150
? tt = $stopwatch
Replaced scalar tt = -2313.92
? printf "Elapsed time = %g seconds\n", tt
Elapsed time = -2313.92 seconds
The time is negative

Your system is lying to gretl. That is, the Windows function
QueryPerformanceCounter() is giving incorrect results. The system
hardware or firmware may be bad.
