Right: can we assume that all signals can be handled by a 'listener'
thread (listening with WaitForSingleObject) without having to notify the
main backend thread that it is signal time (especially for notifications
coming from the postmaster)?
That is the point we are unclear on and the last several posts were
discussing possibilities if the answer to that question was 'no'.
