Because our "popen" implementation uses stdio, and because nobody's stdio library is capable of surviving signals, we need to make absolutely sure that we hide the SIGALRM from the smart scheduler. Otherwise, when you open a menu in openoffice, and it recompiles XKB to deal with the accelerators, and you popen xkbcomp because we suck, then the scheduler will tell you you're taking forever doing something stupid, and the wait() code will get confused, and input will hang and your CPU usage slams to 100%. Down, not across.
