timer_create problem

[Aitor.Viana.Sanchez at esa.int]

Yes, i already stepped into the code...and also guessed the same, but i 
didn't have time to put the post, sorry about it. Now i do: 
This was the error but only in RTEMS, not in Linux, so i am wondering if 
POSIX saids something about it. I mean, whether POSIX saids specifically 
that this error should be raised if this field is not set. Anyway both 
implementations Linux and RTEMS should behave in the same way...either 
raising the error or not.

At this point, I would have to recommend stepping into the
function with and seeing which condition is not met.

This is a good example of where a support contract comes
into play.  I could spent more time investigating your problem
then.  My 2nd guess is:

if ( !evp->sigev_signo )
rtems_set_errno_and_return_minus_one( EINVAL );

since I see a memset(0...) and no set of that field.
