I'm not sure that really fixes what Stephane describes as the
problem.

This requires that the user know that the function behaves differently
when called from a signal handler and when not, at which point he
might as well just know not to call the function from a signal
handler, which is what Stephane was trying to make him not think
about.

Am I missing something?
