in thread $SIG{ALRM} and windows vista?

I would have sworn that at one point after alarm was implemented on Windows and before Safe Signals were introduced

alarm was first implemented on Windows in 5.8.0. Safe Signals were also introduced then.

Using 5.8.0 with PERL_SIGNALS=unsafe, alarm didn't interrupt <STDIN>.
