-If it doesn't, something may be wrong. Perhaps your \s-1OS\s0 will print
-\&\*(L"NaN\*(R" in a different form. \*(L"NaN\*(R" stands for \*(L"Not A Number\*(R". If your \s-1OS\s0
-writes \*(L"U\*(R" or \*(L"\s-1UNKN\s0\*(R" or something similar that's okay. If something
-else is wrong, it will probably be due to an error you made (assuming
-that my tutorial is correct of course :\-). In that case: delete the
-database and try again.
+Note that you might get more rows than you expect. The reason for this is
+that you ask for a time range that ends on 920809200. The number that is
+written behind 920809200: in the list above covers the time range from
+920808900 to 920809200, \s-1EXCLUDING\s0 920809200. Hence to be on the sure side,
+you receive the entry from 920809200 to 920809500 as well since it \s-1INCLUDES\s0
+920809200. You may also see \*(L"NaN\*(R" instead of \*(L"nan\*(R" this is \s-1OS\s0 dependent.
