timeouts

[ASF <Anthony-Ferrand wanadoo fr>]

    Hello,

I just wonder how  the timeouts are managed? For example, if there are 2
timeouts and we are in the following situation:
the first is done and the appropriate function is launched but during
the execution of the first function the second timeout is done...what
happen?
The second waits till the first job is done? a core file is generated?

Thanks in advance,

ASF
