in thread $SIG{ALRM} and windows vista?

It sounds like you're saying that signals don't interrupt I/O on Windows, but you know that only thing that Windows has that is similar to signals are Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break. Are you saying they don't interrupt I/O? I haven't tested how they work.

Update: Clarified.
