Thank you for the patch.  I haven't been able to look at it closely, but
on first review it looks like you may have defeated the 1-second timeout,
which defeats the dbsetinterrupt() support.  Nonetheless, it's new code
and it's well possible the logic isn't quite right, and if nothing else
you've highlighted a problem.  

I need unfettered daylight hours to work on something like this, which are
rare in the summertime.  For now, I added it to TODO.  

Expect to see it addressed before our next release.  If you would, it
would be a great service to install the snapshot after I "fix" it, to see
if my interpretation of your patch actually corrects the problem  you
first found.  

Regards,
