    I have my application (which I mentioned earlier) running on the
system where time clock is very unstable (and it's not Linux BTW but
OpenIndiana variation of Solaris OS) and I have no problems with waking
up from the pthread_cond_timedwait in all cases (positive and negative
drifts) so don't worry, it always will. :)

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
