Could it be that the process was started with SIGALRM inherited as ignored? Generally it is a bad idea to start unrelated child processes with signals in an ignored state, when the child isn't expecting it. Does adding a call to "signal(SIGALRM,SIG_DFL);" prior to the alarm() in the test case help? -- Eric Blake
