pthread_cond_timedwait with setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) times out early

["James E. King III" <jking at apache dot org>]

I have isolated a problem in pthread_cond_timedwait when the condattr
is used to set the clock type to CLOCK_MONOTONIC.  In this case even
though a target time point in the future is specified, the call
returns ETIMEDOUT but a subsequent call to
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) shows the desired time point was not
reached.
