We really shouldn't be doing a whole lot in our signal handler. The
signal handler can get called in the middle of a malloc, for example,
and if the signal handler tries to allocate memory then the program
can deadlock.
This change works around that problem by having the signal handler
write to a pipe. Our main program watches the pipe for incoming data
and performs the appropriate action.
This patch is from Shaun Lindsay at Meebo.
Fixes #10324
