"true" sometimes exits too fast, "sleep 0.1" suffices.
Due to userspace implementation (via pthread_cond_timedwait),
/bin/true might end even before the signal is delivered.
BTW, I just verified, only kfreebsd-i386 is affected,
kfreebsd-amd64 (with 64-bit time_t) works fine.
That makes sense. I think for now for coreutils I'll just ignore
fractional timestamps for values over 100000s on kfbsd (after a day, who
really needs a fractional second?) I'll also clone the bug over to libc
for a better fix, as I think it really needs to be handled there because
trying to work around the problem means making assumptions about the
implementation that I'm not sure are/will be valid.
