I appear to have a problem with OS-9 alarms 'disappearing'.  After a
successfull call to alm_set() I get no signal returned when the alarm expires.
Also, I have a utility that shows what the system is up to, including a list of
active alarms.  The alarm just set doesn't show up, as if it was never
successfully set.  The function call, however, returns a valid alarm id.

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?  The same code can work for
10's of iterations, then fail.

I'm using v2.4.4 of OS-9 and Ultra 'C' v1.1.  I've tried old and new-style
function calls, both with the same effect.

Like all itermittent problems, this is proving a real pain.  (It took half a
day to get the system to misbehave while I was monitoring it.)  Any help VERY
welcome.
