>Description:

The setitimer(2) syscall may fail with EPERM.

>How-To-Repeat:

The following code fails correctly with EFAULT on Linux, but NetBSD
fails with EPERM for some reason.

#include <sys/time.h>

#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int
main(void)
{
        int rv;

        errno = 0;
        rv = setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, (void*)-1, NULL);

        (void)printf("rv = %d, errno = %s\n", rv, strerror(errno));

        return 0;
}

>Fix:

Not investigated.
