Hello Hackers,
While doing an audit of the timer code in FreeBSD's kernel one of our
developers came across a theoretical bug and I thought I'd run it by the
gurus on this list before we hack around it.
It seems that it is possible to call untimeout and then have your timer
called immediately

practice, this is a theoretical bug. If this is indeed the case, it will
break lots of our code (misunderstood semantics..)
