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
