are you doing your own signal handling in perl? if so, you should switch
to event.pm. perl's signal handling is well known to be unsafe.
the way to handle that properly is to check for any pending signals
before you enter the select call (while blocking any from coming in) and
then checking after the select returns. this can only be done correctly
in C.
