Proper behaviour would be to have the sighandlers set volatile variables and checking these in appropriate places in the normal flow of control,Actually, I seem to recall that this is the _only_ behaviour that is allowed in signal handlers according to the ANSI C (or maybe POSIX) standards - anything else is implementation defined.
On all systems there is a set of system calls allowed from the signal handler. I'm not sure, which standard it is, but, say write() is allowed. -- Alex
