reading the specs: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/timer_gettime.html the DELAYTIMER_MAX is for realtime POSIX. but Linux is based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base, which is LSB. There is no direct mapping between LSB and POSIX, but perhaps this: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/time.7.html and http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/timer_gettime.html Look carefully between the two and you can perhaps find the balancing point u will need for implementing this feature. whether it is a kernel bug, or userspace bug is therefore highly controversial.

I found a bug that appears to be simple to fix. I assume I am missing something.
here is a link to the bug description: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12665
the man page for the function in the bug report mentions that linux does not impliment the desired functionality
It seems like it is accepted as working the way it does, and at the same time it is reported in bugzilla as a current bug.
What am I missing?
