Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2004

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

For the function pthread_cond_timedwait(), the error code EINVAL is returned 
when the timeout parameter is invalid. The problem is that it is not defined 
what would be an invalid timespec, whereas it is defined for others functions 
as clock_settime().

Action:

For the error EINVAL, 
change:  "The value specified by abstime is invalid."
with:    "The abstime argument specified a nanosecond value less than zero or 
greater than or equal to 1000 million."
