Precedence: bulk

There are only a few changes, as far as the user is concerned.
BTW, does anybody know why diff writes so strange dates, I have
my TZ set to CET-1. 

Ciao

*** 49,54 ****
--- 49,61 ----
  it_value to zero disables a timer.  Setting it_interval to zero causes the
  timer to only happen once instead of repeating.
  
+ Although times can be given with microsecond resolution, the granularity is
+ determined by the timer interrupt frequency.
+ 
+ This version uses @ref{uclock} to determine the time of expiration. Under
+ Windows 95, this fails because the OS reprograms the timer. Also, most debuggers
+ cannot cope with hardware interrupts and report SIGSEGV, or SIGABRT.

  @subheading Return Value
  
  Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure (and sets errno).
