Sorry - your message came at a busy time for me, and then I forgot.

MrEd doesn't use SIGALRM internally.

MrEd does start a helper Posix thread under OS X, and maybe the problem
is that the helper thread can't deal with the signal?

But your earlier message didn't say exactly what goes wrong under OS X.
Does the extension simply fail to report the correct time, or does MrEd
itself break?
