This issue has been largely resolved, but there is an outstanding bug where the (reviewed and committed) solution does not work on certain versions of FreeBSD (broken in 6.3, working in 7+). Do we have a list of 'supported platforms', and is FreeBSD 6.3 in it?

What's the policy with regards to supporting dependencies like this? Should I set this issue to 'pending' seeing as no-one is currently working on a patch for this? Or is leaving this open and hanging around exactly the right thing to do?

I would find more appropriate to close this as fixed because the issue was about adding setitimer and getitimer wrappers and that is done.

We could then create another issue regarding this bug in specific versions of freebsd towards this setitimer/getitimer wrapper. That is what makes more sense to me.
