This is an issue with various implementions of POSIX Threads that need 
to perform signal handling.  A good explanation is at (Q 10):

http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mueller/pthreads/threads-faq.html

Basically, one master thread catches all the signals and forwards them 
using some mechanism other than sending another SIG.

Having said all this I don't readily know how to do this.. but I'll 
look into it.
