+<P>To improve tolerance against operator or time service initiated
+system clock changes.</P>
+<P><B>pthread_timechange_handler_np </B>can be called by an
+application when it receives a WM_TIMECHANGE message from the system.
+At present it broadcasts all condition variables so that waiting
+threads can wake up and re-evaluate their conditions and restart
+their timed waits if required.</P>
+<P><B>pthread_timechange_handler_np </B>has the same return type and
+argument type as a thread routine so that it may be called directly
+through pthread_create(), i.e. as a separate thread. If run as a
+thread, the return code must be retrieved through <A HREF="pthread_join.html"><B>pthread_join</B>()</A>.</P>
+<P>Although the <I>dummy</I> parameter is required it is not used and
+any value including NULL can be given.</P>
