Because RAND_MAX is equal to INT_MAX, the following expression
contained in the manpage for rand(3) is slightly incorrect.
j=1+(int) (10.0*rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0));

The correct expression should use parentheses to group the division
before the multiplication, thus yielding:
j=1+(int) (10.0*(rand()/(RAND_MAX+1.0)));

This is not an error where 10.0 is a floating point number, however
where 10.0 is replaced with an integer, this will cause the expression

Thanks for this bug reporet,

Nishanth: if and when your changes are accepted, and the problem
is thus fixed, could you please send me a notification of that

/* itimer_short_interval_bug.c

   June 2005

   In current Linux kernels, an interval timer set using setitimer()
   can sometimes sleep *less* than the specified interval.
   This program demonstrates the behaviour by looping through all
   itimer values from 1 microsecond upwards, in one microsecond steps.
