Hi,

I'm trying to use TimerTimeout() to check for timeouts before calling 
devctl(), i.e.

     timeout = 1000000000;

     ret = TimerTimeout( CLOCK_REALTIME,
                         _NTO_TIMEOUT_SEND |
                         _NTO_TIMEOUT_REPLY,
                         NULL, &timeout, NULL);

     ret = devctl( fd, dcmd, ipcMsg,
                   IPC_MESSAGE_SIZE( ipcMsg->dataLength ), NULL);


If I set timeout to 0 then I always get a timeout with devctl() 
returning ETIMEDOUT as expected.  But if I set it to any other non-zero 
value then I never get the timeout event.

I'm building for the x86 platform and running it on a VMWare VM.  I'm 
not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or there is an issue with the 
timeouts on this platform.

Any help much appreciated.

Fraser
