Yes, this is possible.

I don't think we can "fix" this.

We can probably change complete_signal() to notify other threads
"immediately", but this is not simple and obviously can not close
the window completely.

Whatever we do, we can't "stop" other threads at the time when
thread 'a' traps. All we can do is to try to shrink the window.
