Yes, that's the problem. Esp. for a threaded environment, as
signals are a dark chapter in POSIX threading.
i never tried rtsignals, but the first implementation
of JACK tried to
use signals for IPC, and i found it 3-5 times slower than using pipes.
Don't use signals together with threads, as the linux threading
libraries are not the only ones with bugs in this area.
So I can again confirm your experiences Paul.
