These are the diffs for the itimer test program from djtst202.  I
found this modified version more useful than the original one, since
the latter masked several problems in the itimer implementation (which
probably explains why didn't Tom uncover them in the first place ;-).
Watching the delta time between signal handler invocations was
particularly educational...
