Is there an example in the standard library that doesn't handle
interrupts properly on both systems? How about a libc function that
fails when invoked via ctypes?
If not, then it might be reasonable to conclude that the problem is
buggy extensions, and go back to figuring out how to make it easier to
write extensions that handle this properly.
