We used to set-up an alarm() to interrupt the XOpenDisplay() after 5
seconds, this has stopped working on Digital UNIX 4.0E (but it's still
working on solaris 2.5 and on older Digital versions): it seems that
this sys call doesn't get interrupted by signals anymore, so it
times-out after 80 secs when the display cannot be opened.
Any idea or workaround?
