That is how I solved this too in libcw.

Hmm, like what?  My experience so far is that "it worked".
select() returns with EINTR and the table provided the
number of times a signal of a given kind was received.
I didn't try too many signals though - just SIGINT, SIGTERM,
SIGARLM, SIGHUP .. the usual stuff.
