Oh, you're using threads *and* signals?  Be prepared for things to
make no sense whatsoever.

If you're just interested in Linux, you might be able to understand
what's going on.

(A whiles back I wrote a patch to support sigprocmask & friends in
Python, and its cross-platform behaviour in threaded builds was one of
the most confusing problems I've ever considered).
