there be some kind of mention of this limitation in the docs?

I'm trying to use signal.alarm to stop a run-away os.system command.
Can anyone exlain the following behavior?
Given following the trivial program:
import os
import signal
def timeoutHandler(signum, frame):
print "Timeout"
raise ValueError
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeoutHandler)
