return value of getitimer after an alarm

["Mike Gran via cygwin" <cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

Hi-

There is an unusual behaviour with setitimer/getitimer and I'm not
sure if it is a bug or not.

Basically, if I call setitimer to set an SIGALRM, and then call
getitimer *after* the alarm goes off, I rather expect the time I
receive from getitimer should be {tv_sec = 0, tv_usec = 0}, but, in
fact, it_value is the negative of the unix timestamp.

Attached is a test case.

Thanks,
Mike Gran
