I've diffed the relevant part, if you are interested in patching
Allegro. Basically, without this, profiling doesn't work at all.
I did that more than a year ago, so I don't remember the specifics
but it's probably that profiling uses SIGALRM (though I don't see
why it would use it instead of SIGPROF, but anyway).
I don't claim to understand what I'm doing, so if people like,
say, George Foot, are there, maybe they could enlighten us with
more information on the subject, and whether this patch is correct
or a hack ?
