You should check for EINTR and restart the call as necessary.  This is standard best practice for POSIX programming anyway, and we do it for all the calls that can return EINTR in the IO library and RTS. [...] Blocking SIGVTALRM is not a good idea: the RTS relies on the signal for various things.

Alright. I'll do it this way then. Many thanks for your advice. Cheers, Levi
