Couldn't this be: 

local checker = function()
  checkcount = checkcount+1
  -- will kill the coro after 1 second
  if t+1<socket.gettime() then
    print("timeout")
    coroutine.yield("timeout")
  end
end

And then the scheduler decides what to do with a coroutine yielding "timeout". This would only work if "pcall" was changed into a coroutine like this:
