Re: Fw: 2.6.12: itimer_real timers don't survive execve() any more

This change is bad. Noone passed it by me that I recall. exit_itimers is
also used for exec, which has to clear timer_create timers but not
setitimer timers. Perhaps the comment on exit_itimers should get adjusted
not to give the impression that it's only used at exit time.


Thanks,
Roland
