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:

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.

Thanks for the explanation. I was just looking at bugs in bugzilla that I could actually reproduce. I'm just getting started with kernel programming and am looking for bugs I can observe.
