RE: alarm() not working as expected

I think the problem is actually the errno did not get reset.  Does the
program suppose to reset the errno after receviced the alarm timeout
before doing any recv again?

Do I need to reset the signal once receive the first signal?

1) what do you mean someone calling you with a signal?

That's strange. I've never seen this happen. Do you have other software
running that might be sending you a SIGALRM signal?  Or another signal?

EINTR means that the API call was interrupted by a signal, but it isn't
necessarily the signal that alarm() generated.

The signal number that's received is passed as a parm to your signal
handler, you could try printing it out to see whether it's SIGALRM or
whether it's something else.

I can think of things you could try to work around the problem, but I
can't think of anything (aside from someone calling you with a signal)
that would cause the problem you're experiencing.
