This is either a race in the test or a bug in timeout, neither of which I can see. Your system is running 2.6.30-2-686 SMP Does this fail all the time? (cd tests && make check TESTS=misc/timeout-group VERBOSE=yes) Does it fail if you force bash? (cd tests && make check TESTS=misc/timeout-group VERBOSE=yes SHELL=/bin/bash) If you change timeout.c to fprintf(stderr) that the first send_sig (monitored_pid) call is made, does that happen in the failing case? As an outside guess, maybe timer_create() causes threads to be created on your system, which may in turn cause signal issues? Does the failure still happen if you s/HAVE_TIMER_SETTIME/0/ in timeout.c? cheers, Pádraig.
