_____________________________________________________________________________

In the description of pthread_cond_timedwait(), a statement about the
 clock attribute and a paragraph break have been inserted between two
 closely related sentences.  The text should be rearranged in order
 to reunite the related sentences.
Desired Action: 
 In the two paragraphs:

     The pthread_cond_timedwait() function shall be equivalent to
     pthread_cond_wait(), except that an error is returned if the
     absolute time specified by abstime passes (that is, system time
     equals or exceeds abstime) before the condition cond is signaled
     or broadcasted, or if the absolute time specified by abstime has
     already been passed at the time of the call.

     The condition variable shall have a clock attribute which
     specifies the clock that shall be used to measure the time
     specified by the abstime argument. When such timeouts occur,
     pthread_cond_timedwait() shall nonetheless release and re-acquire
     the mutex referenced by mutex.  The pthread_cond_timedwait()
     function is also a cancellation point.

 move the sentence beginning "When such timeouts occur" to the end
 of the first of the paragraphs.
