I tried it under GDB and the bug is not reproduced. But I think
I have narrowed the problem with further experimentation though. 

The bug is only present if I ask Rhide to redirect stdout to a window. 
Furthermore, I noticed that the time reading does increment by 1 every 60
seconds (and not every second). I find this a bit odd...
