Re-reading that, my thought is: while option 2 might be nice to have,
option 4 is the simple, obvious and immediate fix, so that's the one I'm
capable of providing -- especially with a release imminent.

If you'd like to have a go at implementing option 2, so much the better.

Today was apparently not my best day. Since that function was already
blocking (a.k.a. queueing) signals to do its thing, of course my patch
was trivial to fix. Take 2.
