SIGALRM may conflict with sleep(). I don't have Mac and can't check this.

What do you have in mind exactly? I can check it on my machine. Do you think sleep is just broken?

To prevent any conflict, for instance with pcntl_alarm(), you could use SIGIO, as in #13468 (comment).

I meant calls to sleep() may conflict with signal handlers for SIGALARM.
This is the old well known problem. (see man 3 sleep - "On some systems, sleep() may be implemented using alarm(2) and SIGALRM (POSIX.1 permits this); mixing calls to alarm(2) and sleep() is a bad idea.")

I can't check this PR, and I can't take a decision about its acceptance or rejection.

@dstogov according to the MacOS man page, sleep() does not use SIGALARM on this platform:

This function is implemented using nanosleep(2) by pausing for seconds seconds or until a signal occurs. Consequently, in this implementation, sleeping has no effect on the state of process timers, and there is no special handling for SIGALRM.

I can confirm @arnaud-lb. This is what the man-page says.
