Hi:
  Can I use setitimer() under win3.1 and win95 ? I always get protection
fault. Note that this fault is reported by windows, not by Djgpp. That is,
the Djgpp run-time shows no problem, but windows sayes that this program is
bad. The following is the small source code I write:

#include <sys/time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>

static int value;

static void test(int signum)
{
  value = 0;
}

volatile int i; /* force reading memory */

int main()
{
  struct itimerval a;

  a.it_interval.tv_sec = a.it_value.tv_sec = 0;
  a.it_interval.tv_usec = a.it_value.tv_usec = 56000;
  /* about 9 signals / second */

  signal(SIGALRM,test);
  setitimer(ITIMER_REAL,&a,NULL);
  for (i = 0; i < 100; ++i) sleep(1);
  return(0);
}
