"setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, ...)" does not seem to deliver SIGVTALRM
signals. The test program included below, that sets the process timer
and loops awaiting for timer expiration, will loop forever. However,
running this in background and sending the signal by "kill -VTALRM ..."
from the shell will terminate it as expected (with an exclamation mark
output).
Is this the spec. of the current release or a bug?

The former, I think.
Last time I checked, only ITIMER_REAL/SIGALRM was supported.
ITIMER_VIRTUAL and ITIMER_PROF were not yet implemented.

It's not implemented in Cygwin currently. Actually, I don't know
of any way to implement it, period.
