Hello,
The problem here is that pthread_cond_timedwait takes absolute time,
but you passed relative timeout.
to make pthread_cond_timedwait waike up after you called it, you need
to get current time, and then add timeout you need.
In the sampe you provide your pthread_cond_timedwait waikes up before
it actually starts.
Under win32 you can use GetLocalTime to retieve current time.
