Are you sure the alaram signal came from your application in the sense that
it was generated by your application? I'm also experiencing alaram signals
on Solaris 8 64 bit with a thread test program. Could this be a bug in the
Solaris kernel and/or the Solaris pthread lib?

Are you sure this is a real solution to the problem rather than a workaround
to prevent the alaram signal from interrupting libcurl?

Thanks in advance for any info!
