Here's a bit more about it:

    http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2002-12/0103.html

It looks like we risk hanging for a long time on a slow DNS resolve
if we disable this signal for libcurl.

Our hostname.c does similar things with setting the ALARM and doing
a siglongjmp() in the case of a timeout.  That's probably the exact
point where libcurl code conflicts with our Xastir code.
