 This looks like a bogus test.  The test is checking that the "previous
 value" returned by setitimer() via ovalue is the value that was last
 set by an earlier setitimer() call, but it is actually the timer's
 *current* value, which is decreasing with time, so the test fails
 whenever a clock interrupt happens between the two setitimer() calls.
