Timers not working as expected

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response.

I calculated the number of timers expired per minute and calculated it to
be 2500 microsecond

This issue was seen just once and when I reboot the system , timers were
expiring as expected .

Just a wild guess , can this be related to signal handling rather than
timer expiry  ?

Thanks
