* Run FUN with timeout. This is done by creating a thread for 'fun'

/* Call FUN(ARG), but don't allow it to run for more than TIMEOUT
seconds. Returns non-zero if the function was interrupted with a
timeout, zero otherwise.
This works by running FUN in a separate thread and terminating the
thread if it doesn't finish in the specified time. */
