This is normal *nix behavior. Any signal, even if caught by a signal
handler, can interrupt system calls.

Modern *nix versions might allow to control whether a signal interrupts
a system call or not. Check the signal documentation for your operating
system for the control you have over signal handling. Likely,
you cannot directly control the feature via Python, but the
"ctypes" module allows you to call C functions directly.
