get_time decrementing...?!

Does anyone have any idea what could cause an elapsed time, calculated with two calls to dbms_utility.get_time, to come out as negative? I have a check constraint, stating that numbers inserted into an elapsed_time column must be >=0, that is being violated. This error is sporadic, but worrysome. Any assistance would be most appreciated.
As a corollary, can anyone provide any information on exactly what this "arbitrary point in time" that the get_time clock starts from? What causes this clock to reset?
Thanks,
Mark
