Subject:   nanosleep time left

My understanding of nanosleep in the POSIX standard is that if the time
remaining argument is non-NULL, then the time remaining is supposed to
be returned, regardless of whether the call was interrupted by a signal
or not. So when no signal interrupts the call and it just times out,
I expect that the fields in the time remaining will be zeroed. It seems
that the kernel implementation of nanosleep doesn't do this. Can anyone
(a) confirm this interpretation; and (b) confirm the kernel behaviour?
It looks broken to me.
