The cheap hack way out of this is to set up a select() loop, create a
pipe(), set a timer, then do the lock. If the alarm fires, write a byte
down the pipe from the signal handler which triggers a return from the
select(), and a lookup of the returned FD tells you "timeout!"
So you're calling select() and fcntl(LOCK...) at the same time?
