Yes, we are. I know there are some places in the code where SIGALRM is used, so I'll start looking there. But if you or anyone else thinks of anything, let me know ...[ thinks... ] Another possibility is that you are running some non-Postgres code that resets SIGALRM handling to default. I have heard rumors that Perl will do that in some cases, for example. Are you using plperl?
[How would a plperl function that changes the local behavior of SIGALRM affect the backend?]
