`KB274323`_ contains a code example to workaround the bug (use
GetTickCount() to detect QueryPerformanceCounter() leap).
+Issues of a hacked monotonic function:
+
+ * if the clock is accidentally set forward by an hour and then back
+ again, you wouldn't have a useful clock for an hour
+ * the cache is not shared between processes so different processes wouldn't
+ see the same clock value
