Description

The timestamps for configuration and instrumentation messages are incorrect both with the python and the .Net api.
According to the documentation "All timestamps are uint64 values representing nanoseconds since the epoch (January 1, 1970)." However, the dates resulting can be several years in the past or in the future.

To reproduce with the python api :

• in disp.py, line 178 add the following line :
  print gmtime (nsec / 1000000000)
• start qpid-tool and list the queues => the full dates will be displayed
