This is on a SPARCstation 2, running SunOS 4.1.1B. This behavior happens
with two different C compilers.
I've got a program which installs a signal handler for SIGALRM, then
calls
ualarm(55000, 55000);
which is supposed to send an ALRM signal in 55000 microseconds, and keep
sending them every 55000 microseconds after that.
The first two times I run the program after compiling it, the ualarm
doesn't work; I don't get a SIGALRM. (I can send it by hand, so I know
my handler is installed.)
The third and subsequent times I run the program, it seems to function
normally. (Until I recompile.)
What am I doing wrong?
Please respond by email. I'll summarize if there's any interest.
