From within a background NSOperationQueue thread, the effects of alarm(3) seem to be ignored. (I use alarm() to interrupt certain system calls like connect() when they stall.) The alarm fires, the alarm handler is invoked, but the ongoing sys call is not interrupted, as it would be normally. Is there something inherent in NSOperationQueue that would block the delivery of alarms? Is there another way to effect this? -Carl
