Please obtain a backtrace of the processes that fail.  Use the bt
command in gdb.  Use gdb against either a running process before it
fails, or against a core file.

I've reviewed the alarm changes ... they reduce concurrency which should
increase stability of the code ... but they may expose latent flaws.  We
may have to fix these.
