I've tried running these tests several times in various configurations, 
and I just can't reproduce it locally no matter what I do (on Linux 
Mint). Do you still see this failure if you run "make -C test 
server-tests"? That might help narrow down which test(s) are causing the 
SIGIO. If that doesn't help, maybe just try commenting out some of the 
tests in server-tests.el to see which ones are failing?

Sorry that's not very helpful on its own, but if we can narrow down 
where the issue is, I can take a stab at fixing it.
