Semaphore, SIGALRM not fired

[Adam]

There's a bug in handling SIGALRM while waiting for a samaphore - signal is never delivered.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <signal.h>

static void handler(int sig) { exit(0); }

main() {
   sem_t s;
   struct sigaction sa;

   sem_init(&s, 0, 0);
   sa.sa_handler = handler;
   sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
   sa.sa_flags = 0;
   if (sigaction(SIGALRM, &sa, NULL) == -1) exit(-1);
   alarm(2);
   sem_wait(&s);
}

Works fine here (Linux host, Debian Squeeze guest). Which guest did you use for this test?

Host: Windows Guest: Ubuntu 11.04 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64

Please attach a VBox.log of your VM session.
