I'm having a frustrating time with this... I'm using signal.alarm to time out computations that take too long. In most cases they work, but sometimes they don't. The CPU stops spinning, but I don't get my prompt back, the program just hangs forever. I know this is due to a lack of sig_on/sig_off clauses somewhere, but I don't know where they belong. This is the kind of thing where I could run it over and over and have the interruption work, but one in a hundred times it doesn't work. In that one out of a hundred times, is there any possible way to know where the problem is occurring?
