I'm beginning to think that langmead may be on to something:
that blocking all signals in all threads is Just Plain Wrong
(tm). The Zope SIGSEGV problem is just an example; I have my
own beef with SIGTERM, which ends up blocked (together with
all other signals) in child processes started from a thread.

I would love to see langmead's patch! (For Python 2.4.)

Make sure to test the behavior from 465673 (and possible
219772?) after removing the signal blocking but before
adding the new fixes, and again after applying those, to
make sure 465673 is really gone.

Also, I'd like to hear from jasonlowe, who submitted bug
465673 and the patch that caused all the problems, 468347.
Maybe his signal-fu has increased since 2001.

It would be a miracle to get this into 2.3.4 though...
