Subject: trap() block signal mask, esp. CHLD

Hi,

In managing many sub-processes and using trap() with SIGCHLD, there is 
a re-entry problem because there is no way to have a 
sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK,...) in effect while Ruby code is running. At 
least this seems to be the case.

Interestingly, Ruby internals use SIG_BLOCK for protection, I am 
interested in expanding this to Ruby code. Suggestions on how to do 
this, or even a patch?

Thanks,

Dan
