Under Irix6.3 (python compiled in -n32 mode with MipsPro 7.2.1), test_signal
works fine (?) if you run it on its own:

>>> import test.test_signal
starting pause() loop...
call pause()...
+ kill -5 7487 
+ sleep 2 
handlerA (5, <frame object at 100cf928>)
pause() returned
call pause()...
+ kill -2 7487 
+ sleep 2 
handlerB (2, <frame object at 100cf928>)
HandlerBCalled exception caught
call pause()...
+ kill -3 7487 
KeyboardInterrupt (assume the alarm() went off)

however, as part of the test suite, this test hangs:

>>> import test.testall
[...]
test_signal
test_signal
+ sleep 2 
starting pause() loop...
call pause()...
+ kill -5 7454 
+ sleep 2 
+ kill -2 7454 
+ sleep 2 
+ kill -3 7454
