Dear Author

I have run into a trouble in using chron package
The data frame: a
       date time_fut expiry_day   bid   ask trade_day
1 2004-09-01 09:45:00    2004-10 12860 12889        38
2 2004-09-01 09:45:01    2004-10 12885 12890        38

9 2004-09-01 09:45:14    2004-10 12882 12883        38

I use the package chron

a$time_fut<-times(a$time_fut)
a$date<-as.Date(a$date)
a$expiry_day<-as.character(a$expiry_day)

any(am$time_fut[2]==(am$time_fut[1]+times("00:00:01")))
the answer: True
 any(a$time_fut[5]==(a$time_fut[4]+times("00:00:01")))
[1] TRUE
any(am$time_fut[4]==(am$time_fut[3]+times("00:00:01")))
the answer: False
But, the right answer should be true

I don't know why, I am using the R version: 2.7.1
attached please find the data.

Thank you

Best wishes
