This test was using standard signals (SIGIO), but after changing to real-time signals,
I confirmed that the test succeeded.
When using standard signals, it seems that if there is an overlapping timing of standard signals,
the signals generated later will be dropped.

Fixed implementation of overflow counter not clearing on test failure.

I will post a v3 patch with the above fixes.
