That just shows you haven't written enough signal code. :-)

Seriously, let's please not confuse Linux with portable.  The issues
here are about the cross-platform viability of your suggested
approach.  If you've only used signals on Linux, maybe you should
withdraw yourself on account of lack of experience with the real
issues.
