Thanks for the test case.
It looks like cygwin's implementation of siginterrupt doesn't match
linux's. If you switch the order of calls so that siginterrupt comes
second, it will probably work. You can also use sigaction to set up the
handler, clearing the SA_RESETHAND flag:
struct sigaction sa;
sigaction (SIGALRM, NULL, &sa);
sa.sa_flags &= ~SA_RESTART;
sa.sa_handler = alarm_handler;
sigaction (SIGALRM, &sa, NULL);
That also works.
I'll look into fixing this in the next release of cygwin.
