[issue1975] signals not always delivered to main thread, since other threads have the signal unmasked

[Adam Olsen]

Adam Olsen <rhamph at gmail.com> added the comment:

You forget that the original report is about ctrl-C.  Should we abandon
support of it for threaded programs?  Close as won't-fix?

We could also just block SIGINT, but why?  That means we don't support
python signal handlers in threaded programs (signals sent to the
process, not ones sent direct to threads), and IMO threads expecting a
specific signal should explicitly unblock it anyway.
