Which is completely unacceptable here because I need to update
status for the user while the main thread is sitting at wgetch.

Like I said, what I have (don't handle SIGALRM whilst actually doing
anything important) does work.  Since I'm going to have to bundle
CDK into my app to fix a bug, though, I may hack CDK's main loop to
avoid the interrupts.
