/*
* Notes on handling system time adjustments (especially negative ones).
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* This solution was suggested by Alexander Terekhov, but any errors
* in the implementation are mine - [Ross Johnson]
*
* 1) The problem: threads doing a timedwait on a CV may expect to timeout
* at a specific absolute time according to a system timer. If the
* system clock is adjusted backwards then those threads sleep longer than
* expected. Also, pthreads-win32 converts absolute times to intervals in
* order to make use of the underlying Win32, and so waiting threads may
* awake before their proper abstimes.
*
* 2) We aren't able to distinquish between threads on timed or untimed waits,
* so we wake them all at the time of the adjustment so that they can
* re-evaluate their conditions and re-compute their timeouts.
*
* 3) We rely on correctly written applications for this to work. Specifically,
* they must be able to deal properly with spurious wakeups. That is,
* they must re-test their condition upon wakeup and wait again if
* the condition is not satisfied.

/*
* ------------------------------------------------------
* DOCPUBLIC
* Broadcasts all CVs to force re-evaluation and
* new timeouts if required.
*
* PARAMETERS
* NONE
*
*
* DESCRIPTION
* Broadcasts all CVs to force re-evaluation and
* new timeouts if required.
*
* This routine may be passed directly to pthread_create()
* as a new thread in order to run asynchronously.
*
*
* RESULTS
* 0 successfully broadcast all CVs
* EAGAIN Not all CVs were broadcast
