There is a call on the domain key which will do this.  However, efficent
timeouts are a hard problem.  I think it is somewhat related to UNIX
signals in that what you are trying to acheive is an interrupt without
the programming environment to support it.  N.B. A Domain keeper can
also simulate a real, old fashioned interrupt.  Now all you need is
C library support.
