95 * synchronisation from a signal handler isn't possible in general
96 * (some OSs support it, eg. MacOS X, but not all). So instead:
98 * - the signal handler writes the signal number into the pipe
99 * managed by the IO manager thread (see GHC.Conc).
100 * - the IO manager picks up the signal number and calls
101 * startSignalHandler() to start the thread.
103 * This also has the nice property that we don't need to arrange to
104 * wake up a worker task to start the signal handler: the IO manager
105 * wakes up when we write into the pipe.
