There are certain applications in Linux-land that want to make use of more POSIX timers (i.e., timer_create(3C)) than we currently support. SmartOS has a hard limit of 32 per process that can't be changed. We should look at either increasing the native limit or changing the emulation layer to support more than native allows.

I have a draft fix written up, but this is a good opportunity to write some accompanying tests.
