Ok, it hangs zope. Now I can hang it when I want.

unfortunately my program doesn't detect it, it seems that urllib.urlopen()
blocks and doesn't allow my alarm handler to be called in this situation.

here's a part of the program:

	#
	# now we set the alarm handler and set the timeout
	signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, alarm_handler)
	signal.alarm(timeout)
	
	#
	# now we try to open the connection
	url = urllib.urlopen("http://%s:%i" % (host, port))

	#
	# stop the alarm
	signal.alarm(0)

Anyone has an idea of what is wrong in this code ?

thanks.
