@ page 119 line 4375 section alarm comment {impldefined}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2003

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

The rationale uses the term "implementation-defined"
in 

"In some implementations, including 4.3 BSD, very large values of the seconds 
argument are silently rounded down to an implementation-defined maximum value"

I do not think this is inline with the terminology definition 
and would be better rephrased as "any implementation-specific maximum value" 
perhaps?


Action:


Change from:

"implementation-defined" 

To:

"implementation-specific"
