Some time around 1980 IBM "fixed" some problem that I don't remember by sticking an STIMER WAIT for a second or so into Dynalloc under some circumstances. This was before the days of STIMERM, and so of course if the user program had an STIMER of its own outstanding, it was clobbered. IBM rejected the complaint, saying that there was no guarantee that Dynalloc wouldn't issue STIMER when it felt like it. That was a long time ago, so who knows...
