+signal.setitimer() may disable the timer when passed a tiny value.

+Tiny values (such as 1e-6) are valid non-zero values for setitimer(), which
+is specified as taking microsecond-resolution intervals. However, on some
+platform, our conversion routine could convert 1e-6 into a zero interval,
+therefore disabling the timer instead of (re-)scheduling it.
