That should work.  I hope you're not suggesting calling clone from
withing the signal handler though.  Create the thread first, have it go
to sleep, have the signal handler wake it up, let it do its work, and
then go back to sleep.

Or move all the processing into one thread using some sort of select
model.  Can be ugly, but this is of course the classic Unix
(pre-threads) approach.
