If this is what I think it is (Merlin - please confirm), this relates to
the SSL code only. And the issue is that there are (I think - haven't
100% verified it yet) paths in the SSL code that will block withou it
being possible to deliver signals. The end result would be a query you
can't cancel/backend you can't kill.

The non-SSL codepaths emulate blocking sockets using non-blocking ones
that also listen on signals. This has not been done for SSL sockets yet.
