Hello,
 
I have another issue, I'm using a 2.4 UClinux Kernel and am using the
interruptible_sleep_on_timeout function to wait till an interrupt occurs
or until the timeout expires. What I am seeing is that I never seem to
time out the first time, I hit this function and then have to CTRL+C to
interrupt the sleep, upon which my code begins to execute again, it will
loop back to this exact same function again and the second and third
time it will timeout and pass thru, but not the first. Has anyone seen
this issue before?
