Note: Although @code{sigprocmask} officially has undefined behaviour in
multi-threaded programs, in practice it is essentially equivalent to
@code{pthread_sigmask}, with only a difference regarding the error
return convention. It's simpler to use @code{sigprocmask}, since it does
not require linking with @code{-lpthread} on some platforms:
glibc, NetBSD, OpenBSD, AIX.
