So the I/O threads which are created by ZeroMQ explicitly ignore all signals
but SIGKILL and SIGSTOP. In this case ignore means that the default action
is not taken.

With the default actions listed in signal(7), i.e. term on most defined
signals, or stops the actions defined by the calling thread being inherited.
