Ok, I've built and tested with the new patch and no more SIGVTALRMs. However, 
darcs pull still wouldn't work. I commented out the stderr redirection in 
Exec.lhs and saw that ssh2 died with:

scp2: warning: Invalid source specification ''.

So, now darcs pull works with the following change in compat.c

   setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &itv, NULL);

 }
