If I understand the sigalrm code, I'm honestly surprised it works for 
anyone. As Elias said XLOCK does next to nothing, except increment a 
variable and lock out input handling. There's async problems all over 
the place for Xlib to trip over, and I think it's just been luck that 
we've had so little problems with it. Of course, there could be things 
in 4.1.12+ that aggrivate the situation for your system. As mentioned, 
mixing interrupt behavior in a threaded environment is usually a bad 
idea and bound to cause problems.
