Right, it *might* work to, open non-blocking, set it to blocking, then
dup2 it and use the new duplicated one. I can try it, but honestly, the
code is much clearer with the Timer rather than the
blocking/non-blocking dance. I have to write a loop that times out, etc.
Rather than just getting a SIG* after 120s of inactivity.

If you prefer SIGALRM, or alarm(2), then we can use ctypes/pyrex/whatever.
