It could, but that would interfere with an early wakeup from a manual SIGALRM, since there's no way to tell where the SIGALRM came from. I'd rather see the kernel fixed. Until then, a little extra scripting will get the job done, and will make the user more aware that some things (early wakeups) won't work quite the same. paul
