[ECOS] sigwait not returning

Hi all,
    I am using sigwait () call to handle the signal in a thread.
    But the call never returns.

    We have traced the call and found that the thread is exiting in 
cyg_deliver_signals function with
    error "Unknown handler for the signal".

    I think it shouldn't enter the function at all, because the delivery 
method for
    sigwait call is via the broadcast method for the global  condition 
variable named signal_sigwait.
   
    I have attached the example code below.
    Am i missing something?

thanx in advance,
regards

#include <signal.h>

#include <cyg/infra/diag.h>

main ()
{
	int ret_val;
	sigset_t set;
	int sig;

	// Unblock all the signals
	sigfillset (&set);
	pthread_sigmask (SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, (sigset_t*)NULL);

	timer_t timer1;			// Timer
	struct sigevent sev;
	
	// Notification type --- Deliver the signal
	sev.sigev_notify                = SIGEV_SIGNAL;
	sev.sigev_signo                 = SIGALRM;
	sev.sigev_value.sival_int       = 0xABCDEF01;
	
	// Timer values	--- 1 Second
	timerValue.it_value.tv_sec           = 1;
	timerValue.it_value.tv_nsec          = 0;
	timerValue.it_interval.tv_sec        = 0;
	timerValue.it_interval.tv_nsec       = 0;
	
	if (timer_create (CLOCK_REALTIME, &sev, &timer1) != 0)
		diag_printf ("Error in creating the timer\n");

	if (timer_settime (timer1, 0, &timerValue, NULL ) !=0)
		diag_printf ("Error in setting the time\n");

	//--------------------------------------------------------------------
	// <end of timer initialization section>
	//--------------------------------------------------------------------

	diag_printf ("Timer initialisation is completed..\n");

	// Wait for any signal to arrive
	sigfillset (&set);
	ret_val = sigwait (&set, &sig);

	if (ret_val ==0)
	{
		diag_printf ("The signal number %d received\n", sig);
	}
	else
		diag_printf ("Error in sigwait call\n");

	diag_printf ("Program terminating\n");
	exit (0);
}

</cut>
