Package: guile-1.6
Version: 1.6.8-10
Severity: normal
While playing with guile on my system, I discovered a weird anomaly
which I could not reproduce on other systems running guile. If I
install a signal handler for SIGALRM, it won't get called while guile is
making an I/O system call. To demonstrate:
[atehwa@karaihin ~/proj/psyk]$ guile
guile> (alarm 2)
0
guile> Herätyskello
[atehwa@karaihin ~/proj/psyk]$ guile
guile> (sigaction SIGALRM (lambda (x) (display "now!") (newline)))
(0 . 335544320)
guile> (alarm 2)
0
guile> now a lot more than two seconds has passed, while I wrote this
now!
<unnamed port>: In expression now:
<unnamed port>: Unbound variable: now
ABORT: (unbound-variable)
[...]
As you can see, the signal handler gets called as soon as guile returns
from read(2), already before calling (eval).
I can't get to understand what causes this on my system, because another
Debian system with exact same versions of guile-1.6, libc6 and
libguile-ltdl-1 seems to work fine, and interrupts the read(2) call with
the signal handler.
