 FAQ 7.31 in disguise!

 chron stores date-times as fractions, so you're comparing two
floating point numbers here. FAQ 7.31 applies.

 Use 'all.equal', which has a method for chron that uses a 1 second
tolerance to match times:

> all.equal(times("4:00:01"),times("4:00:00")+times("00:00:01"))
[1] TRUE
