Can't you do something smart with signals, threads, alarm() and kill() ?
Like running the code in a worker thread, where the main thread
keeps track of how long it has been running and if not finished
within a certain time, kill() it.
Or use alarm() to get signaled after some time, then kill it in
the signal handler.
