Sure, but I saw that when read_mem() goes first and become the first running
thread, it should cause segment fault all the time now.

So, if the first running thread is not read_mem(), it will not fail with segment
fault all the time. So, I think there's no wrong with the signal or others' 
handling.

We just make sure that read_mem() is not the first running thread, it will be 
enough.
