I was just too lazy to install the signal handler in this case given
that the default action for the signal is to terminate the process...

We can as well do _exit(0); here. Then we don't have to add the global
variable and the main loop will stay as for (;;);

I would just use simpler signal(SIGVTALRM, sig_handler); here.

Other than that it's fine.
