>Description:
Various tests establish signal handlers that do things they shouldn't:

1. Syscalls without saving and restoring errno.
2. Writing to objects of types other than sig_atomic_t which may be read or written by the interrupted code.
3. printf or fprintf instead of vsnpprintf_ss and write
>How-To-Repeat:
code inspection
>Fix:
Audit everything turned up by this for bad signal handlers:

grep -rw -e sigaction -e signal tests/

(For that matter, maybe we should audit the non-test applications too!)
