re: alarm(0)

Another solution which doesn't cost per-connection is to install a SIGALRM
handler which handles the alarm and does nothing.  Then change the parent
to use SIGUSR2 instead of SIGALRM for OPTIMIZE_TIMEOUTS.

Notice we don't do anything about restoring signal handlers though.  I
still claim that it's not our responsibility to clean up after broken
modules/libraries.
