    That was my initial idea but it has an issue with kernel
    threads :-( There are in kernel thingies that use signals to a certain
    extend and rely on being able to dequeue and/or clear sigpending (or
    else they just loop instead of waiting in various loops).

    A bit of a can of worms if you ask me.

    Ben.
