That's really weird.  [ looks at code... ]  You aren't using a
--disable-integer-timestamps build by any chance, are you?
Even if you were, I don't see how we could be passing a bad
value to setitimer().

I'm a bit inclined to say there's something wrong with your kernel,
since we've not heard similar reports elsewhere.
