 I don't want my application to crash ungracefully because a
timer allocation failed, instead I would prefer to leave this
to the application itself, so it can do other things or cleanup
or find ways to deal with it rather than a 
     
      *** ERROR **** something != NULL message
      core dumped

that would be like Windows :(
