Something isn't working as expected...
The timer (setitimer) never goes off in truerand.c so the for(;;) loop
eats cpu forever (in cmkdir for instance).
I tried adding a memset to initialize 'it' already.
I'd be surprised if setitimer is that broken.
Has anyone else had to solve this problem??
Thanks!
