this sequence:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <setjmp.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <float.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <signal.h>


static jmp_buf jumpenv;

ReadLineAlarm()
{
  signal(SIGALRM, SIG_IGN);
  alarm(0);
  fprintf(stderr, "alarm signal caught\n");
  longjmp(jumpenv, 1);
}

main()
{
  signal(SIGALRM, ReadLineAlarm);
  if (setjmp(jumpenv) != 0) 
    return;
  alarm(2);
  for (;;)
    sleep(1);
}

never end.

Is it normal or a bug.


this sequence works if alarm is replaced by an infinite loop.
