Thank you for your patch! I haven't had much time to look at it yet, but it
seems good from my first look. I'll take a better look at it later.

I had the same issue when contacting upstream regarding my tcpprof patch. Are
you able to quote us the relevant parts of your conversation with upstream? I
ask that only for documentation purposes.

I need to further investigate what is the best practice when fixing bugs of a
"dead" upstream project. The problem is that each patch I add to the package, we
deviate from upstream further and further. It could become a problem for future
maintainers if upstream ever releases a new version.

According to setitimer manpage, setitimer is obsolete and timer_settime should
be used instead. Debian's libc seems to support timer_settime. Is there a reason
not to use timer_settime instead of setitimer?

Cheers,
Rafael
