Re: TEST_DIRECT flag and nptl eintr/stdio tests

Florian,

What timing! This looks like exactly the issue I was dealing with. I
corrected the problem in a slightly different manner. I will post the
patch tomorrow to see if it's something that you'd like to incorporate
in case there are future tests that use SIGALRM. I don't necessarily
know if my fix is more general or too specific. I will let experts
decide!

Thanks, as ever, for the work that you do and for your response to my message!

Will
