You can use sigwait to serialise/queue [some] incoming signals into a nice waitable form, but to make it work reliably you need to set the signal masks before any threads are spawned, i.e. before the felix driver gets started. Yet another @#%#$@ API that just HAS to be run first. Signals are shit, Jonathan, and in the presence of multiple threads they're even shitter - what exactly are you trying to do?
