Hello,

I have found an interesting article about waiting for signals in a separate
thread. A source code skeleton is shown.
http://devcry.heiho.net/2009/05/pthreads-and-unix-signals.html

The author suggested also to install an empty signal handler by the function
"sigaction". How do you think about this suggestion?
Is the mentioned indication of non-default signal actions useful here?

Regards,
Markus
