Hi,
I've noticed that there are some times when I cannot
get a signal delivered to a process. For examle when I
am reading from a socket and the read blocks, signals seem to
not get delivered (until the read unblocks). If the
read blocks permanently, the program is unkillable
and unsignallable. Is there anything I can do (short of
using a seperate thread or non-blocking I/O) to get
reliable signalling ?

(I can provide example code if necessary).
