Hmm, they should return with EINTR on signal. At least on Linux; I'm not
sure how portable that is. See signal(7) man page, section "Interruption
of system calls and library functions by signal handlers". You could
also use a timeout like 5 s to ensure that you wake up and notice that
the signal was received eventually, even if it doesn't interrupt the
blocking call.
