when calling

alarm(1); alarm(0);

the second alarm can wrongly return 2. This makes an LSB test fail.

It happens due to rounding errors in the timeval to jiffie conversion and
back.  On i386 with HZ =3D=3D 1000, there would not need to be rounding
error IMVHO, but they even occur there.  On HZ=3D1024 platforms, they may
even be unavoidable.

Attached patch fixes the return value of alarm().
