Comment (by olly):

 I've added NetBSD to the list of platforms where we won't try to use
 `timer_create()` for now.

 There are rather a lot of platforms where the POSIX timer machinery either
 isn't implemented at all, or appears to be but it doesn't actually work
 (at least as we want to use it).

 I wonder if we'd actually do better to launch a thread which does a fine
 granularity sleep for the timeout length.
