 The Bug seems to be in the Linux kernel: On this machine, all processes are
 invoked with the ALRM signal blocked. This also makes the usage of ping or
 ntpdate impossible. The following lines in child_main() solved the problem:

     sigemptyset(&sigs);
     sigaddset(&sigs,SIGALRM);
     sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK,&sigs,NULL);
     signal(SIGALRM, alrm_handler);

 The OS was:

 Linux linux 2.2.16 #9 SMP Tue Sep 25 17:00:24 MEST 2001 i686 unknown
