timeout-interrupt

Works like ruby's timeout, but interrupts every call, also syscalls, which blocks the hole ruby-process.

It uses POSIX's alarm and traps ALRM-signals.

Known limitations bacause of alarm and ALRM are, that you can not use alarm or trap ALRM.

Do not forget, syscall can have allocated memory. If you interrupt a call, which can not free his allocations, you will have a memory leak. So, use it only, if your process did not live any longer or if you call something, which never allocate mem
