Somewhat. My latest patch (after fixing other problems [1]) now passes tst-timer [2], but only *sometimes* (looks like a race). I isolated my code into a standalone app by renaming the timer_* functions and found that when run outside libc it nearly always (or always? can't recall) works, and when run as part of libc it nearly always fails, but sometimes works. See attachment. [1] Among these, the test itself relied on undefined behaviour by calling timer_delete(-1). My current patch just replaces it with the newer version of the same test in nptl/sysdeps/pthread/tst-timer.c (which is a generic pthread test and doesn't depend on NPTL). [2] Tested on kfreebsd-10 / i386 only. -- Robert Millan
