Heh, even though I was the last one to touch that line according to git
blame, I just moved it from smgr.c. Looks like Tom wrote it in 2004. I
guess it means "too early". That would make sense from the context.
Google only gives a few hits but they seem to agree with "too early". A
very rare word, for sure. Might be good to change it to "too early", but
it's not wrong, and the poet in me kind of likes "unbetimes" :-).
