AFAIK, it's not that you can't use them together at all, it's just that
you have to be aware of certain limitations on what is guaranteed (so
relying on what seems to happen in practice on a given implementation
might not be very portable).

Signals are a "rough" tool, threads are a "fine" one, and the
intersection is a bit fuzzy... if fuzzy's OK, then no prob, but...
