 Module Name:	src

 Modified Files:
 	src/lib/libpthread [netbsd-2]: pthread_alarms.c
 
 Log Message:
 Pull up revision 1.11 (requested by nathanw in ticket #1064):
 Avoid passing zero-valued timespecs to timer_settime() when we want to set
 a timer, as that will clear the timer instead. Pass in a safely in-the-past
 value instead.
 Addresses PR lib/28700.
 (XXX passing in values between 0 and 1000 nanoseconds will still fail, but
  that bug needs to be fixed in timer_settime(), not here)
