Subject: Re: threads/184073: wrong signal delivery to multithreaded processes
in Perl

There is no guarantee in POSIX that the main thread receives a
signal sent to the process if multiple threads (including the
main thread) have the signal unblocked. The only way to
guarantee signal delivery to a specific thread is to send it
directly to the desired thread, have all threads other than the
desired thread mask the signal, or be blocked in sigwait{info}()
from the desired thread at the time of signal delivery. You
are relying on behavior that is not specified by the standard.
