But what happens if the next timer happens to be soon, and Emacs receives SIGALRM inbetween set_alarm and unblock_timers?
Are you talking about a SIGALRM received during the execution of do_pending_atimers, between run_timer's call to set_alarm and do_pending_atimers's call to unblock_atimers? If so, the SIGALRM should be held by the operating system during that period, and Emacs won't be informed of the SIGALRM until unblock_atimers does its thing. Sorry, I don't see how this would cause a timer to stop.
