Well, I'm not mixing threads and signals, really. I've now learnt
that when a signal is directed at a process on BSD it is delivered to
"a" signal from the set of signals that hasn't blocked it.
What I need to know, and can't quite work out, is how many threads are
present when you just execute
$ ./python
and are sitting at the interpreter prompt? Is it just the one (the
main thread)? That's what I thought, but I'm unable to explain the
behaviour I'm seeing if that is indeed the case.
Cheers,
M.
