Hi,

I'm currently in the process of upgrading nixos's sage package to 8.2. 
While doing
that, https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18919 resurfaced:

```
alarm(9/11); (2^100).binomial(2^22, algorithm='pari')
```

sometimes hangs. "sometimes" seems to be whenever the system is under load.

This behaviour is tested in src/sage/rings/integer.pyx. This also happens 
on 8.1,
so it shouldn't be cause by the update. Its probably a packaging issue.

However I'm hoping that somebody more familiar with sage development than 
me has
an idea what might be causing this before I spend more time blindly 
debugging it.

The bug occurs with cysignals 1.7.1 (and also 1.7.0) and the same pari git
revision that the sage spkg uses. The versions of the other direct 
dependencies
are here:

Does anybody have any pointers to potential causes?
