This is along the lines I was thinking as well, so I like it better than
the first try (which was sort of fiddling with the symptoms, but not with
the underlying signal handling problem).

What if SIGTERM+SIGUSR1 are received in very quick succession, so that
we haven't even entered "explicit_exit_notification_interval" yet?

I'm not sure if I understand the full chain of events that happen on
a (soft or hard) SIGTERM, what state ->signal_received has when the
exit notification timer is active, and under which circumstances
get_signal() is called to collect signal info into the context... this
is magic stuff...

My original idea was "the place that sets signal_received will not do
that for SIGUSR1 if a SIGTERM has already been received" (so, de-coupled
from the exit notification timer), but it seems that this is not easy 
to do.  So maybe your patch is the pragmatic way to solve this.

Arne?
