cyrus-imapd 3.0.0 next beta and release plan?

[Ken Murchison]

Thomas,

If all that can be done safely in the signal handler is setting a global 
variable, I might just scrap the heartbeat functionality. The 
alternative is that the actual method processing code will have 
periodically check the status of the global variable.  Or do you have a 
more creative idea?
