I've been using this module for doing highly accurate sleeping. I would essentially set an alarm for n-seconds and then so a sleep for time time greater then n. When the signal is delivered and I act on it (or simply just return), my app simply continues after the sleep.

I've been in touch with the developer Jarkko Hietaniemi and he's confirmed this is indeed a problem and he will have a newer version coming out some time in the future.
