Trying it, it looks like it does, and a quick glance at ceval.c agrees.
The docs for libsignal don't mention anything about what happens when
you raise an exception in a signal handler, though, and perhaps they
should.
To sum up, it looks like this isn't a bug, and the test program should
be raising a RereadConfiguration exception instead of relying on
details of asyncore's loop. That also means asyncore doesn't need a
way to be told to exit its loop, since raising an exception does the
job nicely and Pythonically.
