Does anybody know how long in hours, minutes, and seconds the longest World Championship Match chess game has taken?

The website below

says that
------------------------------
The longest game in a World Championship match was Korchnoi-Karpov, Baguio 1978. It was drawn (stalemate) in 124 moves.

It also says
------------------------------
In 1988 at the Saloniki Olympiad, Seirawan and Xu Jun played 198 moves, which ended in a stalemate.

What a waste of life! Unless they both made some money.
