Without this patch, modern versions of Perl issue the following warnings:
Prototype mismatch: sub main::SIGVTALRM () vs none at
.../src/utils/pintos line 188.
Constant subroutine SIGVTALRM redefined at
.../src/utils/pintos line 180.
Changing the name of the function avoids the warning.
Thanks to Geoffrey Knopf for reporting this problem.
