Added an example that uses signal.alarm() to time out an os.open() that
takes too long. This example relies on the fact that raising an
exception in a signal handler causes the exception to be re-raised
when the main line of the program resumes execution. Is this guaranteed
in CPython, or is this something that just happens to work by accident?
Also fixed a typo.
