Ur very right.  Thanks very much.  Sorry I had a bad case of HUA.  I 
read the timeout library code backwards, so to speak.  As if the child 
thread (so to speak) was the actual code block, instead of just the 
sleep and the raise.

Sorry for posting something I shouldn't have wasted your time with. 
Thanks for the patience and the help.
