Looking closer at this maybe the issue is with the clock resolution?

    AssertionError: 1465090499.6140003 not less than 1465090499.614

All the failures are raised by the _checkHistory helper in
ZODB/tests/HistoryStorage.py.

The value on the left comes from time.time().

The value on the right comes from storage.history()[-1]['time'], which
comes from TimeStamp(tid).timeTime().

Hmmm.  I spy a

    second = round(b * _SCONV, 6) #microsecond precision

in timestamp.py, but a simple

    return SCONV * v;

in _timestamp.c.  Could this be it?  The C module fails to build, we
fall back to pyTimeStap, which artificially reduces the precision of
timestamps to microseconds?

Let's experiment!

(Digression: https://github.com/zopefoundation/persistent/issues/41)

Ok, that's not it.  But look here:

    >>> t = time.time()
    >>> t - TimeStamp(*time.gmtime(t)[:5] + (t % 60,)).timeTime()
    2.384185791015625e-07

AFAICT the test is incorrect: it assumes that

  t1 = time.time()
  # some small time passes doing stuff
  t2 = time.time(), converted to TimeStamp(), then converted back
  assert t1 < t2

but this can fail due to the above.

Only if that's the case, why doesn't the test fail on Linux?

Should be fixed now.

Should be fixed now because of the z3c.batching fix.
