Netscape 3.x and 4.x use a previous generation of the NSPR library. In the user-level thread scheduling area, there is no code in common with the current NSPR v3.0, which used in the Mozilla browser. So looking at the NSPR v3.0 source code to track down a bug in Netscape 4.x could be misleading.
The periodic SIGALRM signals are used by both the first and second generation of NSPR to implement pre-emptive user-level thread scheduling. So the SIGALRM signals are normal.
(I am working on the current generation of NSPR.)
