Linux, fcntl, F_SETLEASE and signals

[Jeff Epler]

What I don't see here is any handling of threads.

The SIGIO handler might be called at the same time as Python code is
running in another thread.  That means the call to getPending can see a
partially modified queue, or that the queue can be modified by a signal
while getPending is running.

Perhaps the code is written in some way that avoids these problems, but
I wasn't able to see how that would happen.
