Backoff of 0 in signerd when adding zone

On my system - embedded, slow I/O fast CPU I get the following:

 {{Feb 13 02:14:25 p0 local0.warn ods-signerd: WARNING: unable to sign zone example.com.com, signconf is not ready
Feb 13 02:14:25 p0 local0.err ods-signerd: [file] unable to stat file /mnt/opendnssec/signconf/example.com.com.xml: ods_fopen(
Feb 13 02:14:25 p0 local0.warn ods-signerd: WARNING: unable to sign zone example.com.com, signconf is not ready
...

Feb 13 02:14:25 p0 local0.err ods-signerd: [file] unable to stat file /mnt/opendnssec/signconf/example.com.com.xml: ods_fopen(
Feb 13 02:14:25 p0 local0.warn ods-signerd: WARNING: unable to sign zone example.com.com, signconf is not ready
}}

maybe a thousand times - for each zone that is added

 

Suggest that the backoff time be non-zero in ./common/scheduler/task.c
