Hello. I've sent a problem report recently on a strange behaviour of the profiling timer in FreeBSD 10.0, but there is still no response for about a week.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=187668
After this commit: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/comm ... 00faef91da setitimer does not work when the timer interval is set low (below the value of 1/kern.hz, I think). You can ensure that it is so by running a testing program I've attached.
I'm writing here, because problem reports 187669 and 187667 are already closed and my issue isn't even discussed. I do not mean to intrude, I just want to know if there is anything wrong with my PR. As I already said SBCL (maybe the most popular implementation of Common Lisp) cannot pass its tests because of it and therefore it cannot be installed from ports (as far as I can remember). Maybe there are more programs which can suffer from this behaviour of setitimer.
Thanks anyway for such a good OS. Vasily
