The only other possibility I can think of is signals.

That crossed my mind too. Tim, if you want to look in to this you might want to by looking at the alarm() Unix-type API. This post http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/200702/msg00258.html might also be of use.

One problem I can think of with the signals approach is that if the timeout occurs, you will end up having to redo part of the SQL processing AFAIK. I kind of like the idea though - if the query takes more than x seconds, pop up a window saying "it seems this query will take a while, would you like me to email it to you, or would you like to start over with different parameters?"
