OK...
Can you tell me why the output is different with the same system.(Linux 2.6.32)

gcc sem_timedwait.c -lrt -o sem_timedwait

One is like:
#./sem_timedwait
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=110 Real timeout=4us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=110 Real timeout=4us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=110 Real timeout=4us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=110 Real timeout=4us

Another is like:
#./sem_timedwait
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=4 Real timeout=3948us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=4 Real timeout=3929us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=4 Real timeout=3958us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=4 Real timeout=4149us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=4 Real timeout=3967us
sem_timedwait ret=-1 failed.errno=4 Real timeout=3818us
