timer_create returns EAGAIN for some users

[Bernd Wiedle]

Hi everyone,

sorry, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but 
anyhow:


We use POSIX timers in Linux applications. On some computers (all installed
using SUSE 9.2, glibc Version 2.3.3, Kernel Version 2.6.8-24.11) after a few 
startups of the application, timer_create returns -1, errno=EAGAIN.

After the first time the error occured, its no longer possible anymore to 
create a POSIX timer with timer_create.
BUT: This is true only for this user. Other users are still able to use the 
application with timers. The problem arises not on all computers. 
It seems that for the root user, the problem never occures.


Does anybody have an idea ??
Or an idea where to look for this kind of problem ??


Thanks for any help,
Bernd Wiedle
