I should and will take this, but not in this commitfest: I've been just
horribly busy lately with both work and personal issues. If we can punt
it to the next fest, I will promise to work on it then.

I concur with your opinion that this is scary as heck. We need multiple
pairs of eyeballs if we're going to do anything in this area. In the long
run though, I think pushing functionality into signal handlers is exactly
backwards; we ought to be trying to go the other way.
