Public bug reported:

run this program:

    import signal
    import gtk

    signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, lambda *args: None)
    gtk.main()

Send it SIGCHLD.  CPU usage will go to 100% as it goes into an infinite
loop failing to read from a pipe.

Upstream bug report is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640738
with a patch to fix the issue.

This shows up on Maverick, at least.
