1.3.11: accept ist not interrupted by a signal

[Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff at gmx dot net>]

I am a bit confused about the current signal handling in a blocking
accept call (i have not checked other system calls yet)
If the process is blocked it is not interrupted by a signal. It first
waits until a connection is made and call the signal handler afterwards.
Is this by design ? IMHO it should call the signal handler and return
EINTR.

I have attached a small testprogram.

When i press CTRL-C during accept the program will stay until i make a
connection, then the signal handler is called. If i press CTRL-C twice the
process starts to eat CPU time.

   listen_sock = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
   bind( listen_sock, (struct sockaddr*) &s_local, sizeof( s_local ) );
   listen( listen_sock, 1 );
   conn_sock = accept( listen_sock, (struct sockaddr*) &from, &fromlen);
   if(conn_sock >= 0)
   {
      printf( "Got connection\n");
      close( conn_sock );
   }
   close( listen_sock );

   return 0;
