Pull timer fix from Thomas Glexiner:
 "A single regression fix to address the unintended breakage of posix
  cpu timers.

  This is caused by a new sanity check in the common code, which fails
  for posix cpu timers under certain conditions because the posix cpu
  timer code never updates the variable which is checked"
