While testing this, I found that on my system the monotonic clock only has a resolution of 4000250 ns (about 4 ms), which in your original patch would have caused VDR not to use the monotonic clock.
That suggests that your kernel is built with HZ=250 (CONFIG_HZ in /proc/config.gz).
Are there actually systems that have a 1 ms resolution?
Any with HZ=1000, I expect :-)
