[Haskell-cafe] Re: syscall, sigpause and EINTR on Mac OSX

[Branimir Maksimovic]

Though I frorgot to add that deadlock can be caused by signal somewhere else
(eg other thread) if signal handler eg locks mutex internally or calls some
other non asynchronous safe functions like locking functions.
This is likely scenario, if you doubt at signal handlers but I don;t know 
the details
. Deadlocks can be caused by other things, not neccessarily signals.

Greetings, Bane.
