Hi, The timer does not work well with new 2.6 linux kernels, on which the clock rate is 1KHz: the timer almost always arrives 1ms too late, which produces time skews almost every 0.1s... Plus using setitimer and SIGALRM, and then playing with signal masks in a library is really not a good idea (signal masks never work the same depending on the thread library...). Here is a proposal to replace it with a mere posix' select(): on the different machines I could test (with various speeds and kernels), it worked a bit better on 2.4 kernels, and a lot better on 2.6. And it doesn't rely on knowing the kernel clock rate, as long as the period is less than 10ms. Note: it should be possible to apply it to windows version as well, using the socket libary's select().
