I expect this to be significantly harder to do, though it should be
possible.  Not in the first version. :-)

Eventually, perhaps.  Someone pointed out signal delivery, which I was
going to punt on, but now realize I have to emulate it at least a
little, because some programs use signals during normal operation (the
commonest signals thus used are, I suspect, SIGALRM and SIGCHLD).
