Well, yup, it's convenient to break up dead-lock by some interruption
scheme.  That's true.  However, I think that it's not UNIX signal and
its signal handler, in general.  Definitely not.

I think that we're talking about Guile language support for UNIX
siganls and threads.  In this case, we need to think about the
semantics of UNIX signals with thread library.  Please refer some
thread programming introduction(s) for UNIX signal.

Or else, looking the implementation such as Python would help.
