OK, so trapping the signal in a signal handler won't work, because the
POSIX thread functions are not reentrant.
However, using sigwait() will, so instead of a signal handler, I'll spawn a
thread whose only purpose in like is to wait for that signal and, upon
receiving it, do its magic. It can just block in sigwait() until the
signal is delivered.
