Interesting. I suspected this would have an impact on the test_signal
failure on the FreeBSD 6.4 buidbot:

"""

This means that the signals are not delivered in order.
Normally, pending signals are checked upon return to user-space, so
trip_signal should be called when the kill syscall returns, so signal
numbers should be written in order to the wakeup FD (and here it looks
like the lowest-numbered signal is delivered first).
You could try adding a short sleep before the second kill (or just
pass unordered=True to check_signum, but in that case we don't check
the correct ordering).
