You are right, and I don't like to complicate the code without a good 
reason. So I won't add the warning to the user.

But I think I can make ddrescue more robust by "fixing" this "problem" 
because it is easy to readjust ddrescue at no cost so that it continues 
updating the progress with inaccurate rates but accurate sizes.

Of course, someone will then complain about wrong rates when he changes 
the date. ;-)


Best regards,
Antonio.
