That is not how the original requirements for RTEID were written:

https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/joel/RTEID-ORKID/RTEID-2.1/merged/

See page 65 for tm_wkafter. Quoting:

"If the system clock frequency is 100 ticks per second, and the requester
wants to wait for 2 seconds, then the input parameter will be 100*2, or 200
ticks."

I think you have to add 1 internally to all "ticks" based operations to
ensure this requirement is met.

Example sleep() from
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sleep.html

"The sleep utility shall suspend execution for at least the integral number
of seconds specified by the time operand."

Due to implementation changes, the one tick needs to be added. Or we miss
the requirements for RTEID and POSIX.
