Question about conflicts while using accept() and timer

Hi,

I am writing a server program, I have to use accept() to get information from client, at the same time i set a timer (using setitimer()) to do some periodical jobs(just some data update), but every time the timer function is invoked, the accept() will return with error. This always happens when the timer is invoked the second time, no matter what interval I set to it. This still happens when I put accept() and timer setup in two threads.

Anyone met this problem before?? Who can help me?
Thanks

Tian
