Another perl 5.6.x question: According to http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/guide-filter?page=debug/Debugging_Signal_Handlers_SIG_.html;query=ALRM;match=and;where=all;stem=no Perl does not restore the original Apache C handler when you use the local $SIG{FOO} clause under mod_perl (mod_perl provides an internal workaround for SIGALRM). According to one of the old emails from Doug, this should have been fixed in 5.6.x. I read the perldelta page and didn't see this issue mentioned. Have I missed it? (the page was so long...)
