When iperf is called with '-t 100000000' argument it fails with "setitimer: Invalid argument" or it exits displaying incorrect bandwidth:
$ ./iperf -c 192.168.1.2 -i 1 -t 100000000

Client connecting to 192.168.1.2, TCP port 5001
setitimer: Invalid argument

The attached patch fixes it. Could you please include it in the next release?
Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras (Debian maintainer for iperf)

Thanks. Also, can you select a shirt size, shirt type and provide me with a ship to address? The shirts are shown in the screen shots. You can send this information to my personal email.
