Was skeptical about this since I do not explicitely use timeouts via
signals, but I realized as I linked against other libraries, one of them
might do so. Indeed, I found out that libsqlite3 does use SIGALRM, and
guess what, googling on that gives topics about thread safety...

I'm confident the issue is solved, I had my daemon running today for 6
hours like a charm when it crashed after 5 minutes or even 30 sec before
disabling signals.

Thanks for your valuable help,

Christian.
