SIGALRM signal handling and ualarm(3)

I've got a program that declares a signal handler for signals of type
SIGALRM. I do a
ualarm(value,ONCE);
While in the signal handler, are further signals of type SIGALRM
blocked, i.e. if ONCE were SomeInterval, what happens when another
SIGALRM fires while I happen to be executing out of the signal handler
from a previous one? Do I need to explicitly block them?
Oh yeah, SunOS 4.0.3 (which may or may not be important...)
