Description:
------------
Since Cygwin-1.5.16-1 implements setitimer (ITIMER_REAL, ...) only, tests/func/005a.phpt test always fails. This problem also happens with php5.



Reproduce code:
---------------
tests/func/005a.phpt contents.

Expected result:
----------------
Start
Shutdown



Actual result:
--------------
Start

I tried php5-200505272030, and the problem remains. windows native version is not the case. It's a cygwin API problem.

cygwin's setitimer implementation is following.

at cygwin-1.5.16-1/winsup/cygwin/timer.cc:354
extern "C" int
setitimer (int which, const struct itimerval *value, struct itimerval *ovalue)
{
  if (which != ITIMER_REAL)
    {
      set_errno (EINVAL);
      return -1;
    }
--snipped--

As you can see setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, ...) fails, and no signal will be generated.

set_time_limit() does not work unter WinXP/Cygwin, Win2k/Cygwin.
Verified with 4.3.11, 4.4.0RC1, 5.0.4, 5.1.0b1, 5.1-dev.

It works on the same machine under Linux.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 0);    
echo "Start\n";
function boo()
{
	echo "Shutdown\n";
}
register_shutdown_function("boo");
/* not necessary, just to show the error sooner */
set_time_limit(1); 
/* infinite loop to simulate long processing */
for (;;) { }
echo "End\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The script terminates after 1 second

Actual result:
--------------
The script loops until it gets interrupted:

I've made a patch that fixes this: http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~ncpl/patch_cygwin_setitimer.txt

With it, I've been able to finish 'make test', which was impossible otherwise.

Fixed in CVS HEAD, PHP_5_0 and PHP_4_4.
