I don't have an idea at the moment what's going wrong here. Embperl itself
doesn't sets $SIG{__DIE__}, but I think there were some problems with
mod_perl and alarms in the past and I am not quite sure if they still
exists. Could you try to run your test code from the command line (via
embpexec.pl). This will show if it's an mod_perl problem (in which case you
should search the mod_perl mailing list archives, I guess you will find
something there), or if it's an EMbperl problem, then I have to see what's
going wrong....
