alarm(3) bug?
i was trying to replace bionic's hacked alarm.c with the current
NetBSD alarm.c, but noticed that you return -1 on error, unlike glibc
and bionic, and apparently contrary to POSIX:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/alarm.html
"The alarm() function is always successful, and no return value is
reserved to indicate an error."
