This is not signal, it is result from call to pause() .

#if !defined(RTS_SUPPORTS_THREADS)
void
awaitUserSignals(void)
{
    while (!signals_pending() && !interrupted) {
	pause(); <<<<<<<<<< this is where it stops and waits for signals
    }
}
#endif

you have to look elsewhere as this is normal behavior.
Strange is that you are using threaded
run time  (I guess ) but this function is defined only for single threaded 
variant.
This I implied from #if !defined(RTS_SUPPORTS_THREADS)

Greetings, Bane.
