Public bug reported:
When adapting a simple example code from "The ACE Programmer's Guide"
related to active timers (see attached source code), I observe a
regression in Ubuntu Intrepid Beta. Such code has been working correctly
for years in Ubuntu with libace-5.4.7. The recent upgrade to
libace-5.6.3 seems to explain the regression.
The code example runs a 10 ms timer during 1 second and counts the
timeouts. Compiling and linking against an old libace-5.4.7 leads to
100, the correct value. Compiling and linking against the default
libace-5.6.3 leads to around 50, a big error.
Using bigger periods (100 ms) does not show the problem. Using periods
smaller than 10 ms make the problem even worse.
