The problem is that faulthandler's thread (faulthandler_thread) receives the SIGALRM signal: the signal interrupts sem_timedwait() which returns EINTR. PyThread_acquire_lock_timed() retries sem_timedwait() and so the other thread executing sendall() is not interrupted.

The solution is to configure which signals are handled by faulthandler_thread() using pthread_sigmask():
http://hg.python.org/sandbox/haypo/rev/4257fdfa5661

I forced a build on x86 FreeBSD (custom) buildbot:
http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86%20FreeBSD%20custom

I already tested sigprocmask() on FreeBSD (in my VM) and it works as expected: test_socket doesn't block anymore.
