The docu might tell something not only about spurious wakeups but 
also about the fact that return of timedout status doesn't preclude 
consumption of a signal issued concurrently (note that thread 
cancel delivery does preclude it).

Well, the best fix is simply incorporate by reference the standard 
semantics as defined in (most current edition) ISO/IEC 9945.
