But this is not correct. write() is async-signal-safe (POSIX

Then tell it to the doom-sayers who always excoriate me when
I use a 'C' runtime library call in test signal code. I have
been told that the __only__ thing you can do in a signal handler
is access global memory and/or execute siglongjmp().
Try "man 2 signal", and read the list of signal-safe functions
given at the bottom of the manpage, from POSIX 1003.1-2003.
write() is included (of course it is, since it is really a
kernel syscall not a library function).
