SIGUSR1 or SIGINT error

[tim.conway at philips.com]

When i was getting these, I traced the process and its children (solaris: 
truss -f).  I found that one of the spawned threads was experiencing an io 
timeout while the filelist was building.  I had set no timeout, but it did 
it at 60 seconds every time.  I found that this corresponded to a 
SELECT_TIMEOUT parameter, which was set to 60 if IO_TIMEOUT was 0.  BY 
setting my timeout to 86400 (1 day), i stopped those.  Of course, then, it 
choked farther along, but that's another story.
Try setting a timeout, even if you don't want one.  Make it the longest 
the process should ever take.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any more suggestions.
