Greetings, and sorry for the delay! There are hooks for sigalrm in usig2.c, and gcl does recover on receiving this signal, but it is not clear to me what is interrupted and what continues in this case yet. There are system functions si::allow-signal etc., and we can easily add an alarm function. (sleep 60), for example, terminates on the signal, but (do nil (nil) (print 'f)(sleep 1)) does not break back up to top-level. I suspect to make this useful one will need to trigger a throw on signal receipt to a user-defined catch somewhere.
