exit signal Alarm Clock (14)

[notice] child pid 16903 exit signal Alarm Clock (14)

I'm confused by this one.  I was thinking that this was the case of:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/debug.html#Handling_the_server_timeout_case

Which I though was fixed for $SIG{ALRM} and I didn't need Sys::Signal for
alarms.  Is something else causing that message?


BTW -- does that message mean that child process was killed?

Here's an example of how I'm using $SIG{ALRM}

eval {
    local $SIG{__DIE__};
    local $SIG{ALRM} = CORE::sub { die "Timeout" };
    alarm $Flock_Wait_Time;

    flock( LOG_FILE, LOCK_EX )  or die "failed to set lock '$!'";
};
alarm 0;  # just in case it wasn't timeout

if ( $@
